anyone have any idea on this?

i was curious about something related to nmap. since one has the ability to do a protocol scan (granted, the headers 
are empty) with nmap, i was wondering if those same headers left empty could be somehow filled with actual proper 
protocol data? what i would like to see in nmap is have the ability to send out the proper payloads for protocols like 
CDP/EIGRP/PIM/etc
would this be possible? i understand nmap does not use modules like nemesis did, it instead uses the NSE scripts for 
most protocol interraction. i was mentioning this since i have never seen any discussion of using nmap for something 
other than basic ICMP/UDP/and TCP scanning. can it be made available for the protocols i have mentioned (and more)? 
maybe this is something that should be looked into since i now notice nmap scripts are even migrating to the multicast 
level. if any lf this didn't make any sense to the group, i am sorry
 
thank you
