That would be gmd:protocol, example snippet (slightly modified) [1]:

<gmd:CI_OnlineResource uuid="842068ED7ACB3919E040AC8C5AB45DED">
    <gmd:linkage>
        <gmd:URL>http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/dmsp/index.html</gmd:URL>
    </gmd:linkage>
    <gmd:protocol>
        <gco:CharacterString
xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco">WWW:LINK</gco:CharacterString>
    </gmd:protocol>
    <gmd:applicationProfile>
        <gco:CharacterString xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco"/>
    </gmd:applicationProfile>
    <gmd:name>
        <gco:CharacterString xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco"/>
    </gmd:name>
    <gmd:description>
        <gco:CharacterString
xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco">DMSP Satellites
Homepage</gco:CharacterString>
    </gmd:description>
    <gmd:function>
        <gmd:CI_OnLineFunctionCode
           codeList="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/resources/Codelist/gmxCodelists.xml#CI_OnLineFunctionCode"
           codeListValue="information">information</gmd:CI_OnLineFunctionCode>
    </gmd:function>
</gmd:CI_OnlineResource>
