Moreover, [Helia](https://github.com/ipfs/helia/), the most actively maintained browser IPFS implementation, supports block retrieval by CID with Bitswap and Trustless Gateways, but does not support Graphsync.

This means that returning providers that only support raw TCP, raw UDP/QUIC, or GraphSync from the Delegated Routing API is not useful for browser clients, and results in unnecessary network traffic for browser clients.

## Note on terminology

The term **"transport"** is overloaded in the IPFS ecosystem.

In the context of this IPIP, we refer to the network layer transport protocol, e.g. TCP, QUIC, WebTransport, as **"network transport protocol"** to avoid ambiguity.

**"Transfer protocol"** refers to data transfer protocols, i.e. content-addressed block retrieval protocols, e.g. Bitswap, GraphSync, HTTP.
