Hi Ramesh,

I am not sure of the context. Is this intended to be method for a
class? Does the underlying language support enumeration?

Assuming that there could be a dozen protocols to support, it would be
better to pass the protocol as an enumeration, rather than a sequence
of booleans.

Hope this helps.
