Yes that is too simplistic.  Potentially you have large N protocol
rules and some of those protocols do not behave in ways you can
predict or monitor without carrying around a huge amount of baggage.

A silly example is HTTP:  It should be on port 80, but lots of
people like using 8080 or other strange port #s.

As other's have said, it should be left to the application.

So far, only TCP/IP has been discussed, but do you build all
those rules etc into all the other protocols as well?

I don't think so.
