In IANA the two IPv4 protocols are defined:

35    IDPR    Inter-Domain Policy Routing Protocol
45    IDRP    Inter-Domain Routing Protocol
http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers/protocol-numbers.xhtml

However, in Wireshark, they are named:

{ IP_PROTO_IDPR,    "Interdomain routing" },    /* 35 IDPR Inter-Domain Policy
Routing Protocol [Martha_Steenstrup] */
{ IP_PROTO_IDRP,    "IDRP" },                   /* 45 IDRP Inter-Domain Routing
Protocol [Sue_Hares] */

Which is somewhat confusing.

I think IDPR should be named "Inter-Domain Policy Routing".
And IDRP should be named "Inter-Domain Routing Protocol".

Right now, IDPR is called "Interdomain routing" which can be confused with
IDRP.
