If protocol corresponds with program or algorithm, then what is the

It's tempting to say "port number", but that doesn't seem very satisfying.
"Session"?
That's an appealing suggestion. It is based on a 'state' existing between the
two end points and it is above transport (so we don't have to worry about tcp vs
udp vs...).
On the other hand, isn't a session able to have more than one "connection" and,
therefore, possibly be running more than one protocol?
