Why doesn't network engineering support questions and tags of Internet protocols?

Question

Earlier, I was trying to ask a question related to Internet protocols, as the question was related to networking, I tried to ask the question on Network Engineering, but the site does not contain the appropriate tags like ftp, sftp, http, etc. Though, I was able to ask the question on server fault, but shouldn't network engineering be supporting question about Internet protocols?

Answer 1

Network Engineering supports questions about network protocols which are not above OSI layer-4. The protocols you mention about are applications or application-layer protocols.

If you ask about those protocols on NE, you will be redirected to Server Fault for a business network, or Super User for a personal network.
