-[1] The default transport SHOULD be `http/thrift.binary` unless
-  SDKs have good reasons to choose other as the default
-  (e.g. for backward compatibility reasons).
+The `OTEL_EXPORTER_JAEGER_PROTOCOL` environment variable
+MAY by used to specify the transport protocol.
+The value MUST be one of:
+
+- `http/thrift.binary` - [Thrift over HTTP][jaeger_http]
+- `grpc` - [gRPC][jaeger_grpc]
+- `udp/thrift.compact` - [Thrift with compact encoding over UDP][jaeger_udp]
+- `udp/thrift.binary` - [Thrift with binary encoding over UDP][jaeger_udp]
