I am working on a lab and one of the requirements is "broadcasts should be
enables over the PVC".

R6(a4/0.69)------(a1/0.69)R9

The solution sets up 'protocol ip xxx' to ping across the interface:

interface ATM0/0.69 point-to-point

 ip address 172.16.56.5 255.255.255.252

 ip ospf authentication-key ipexpert

  pvc 0/32

   protocol ip 172.16.56.5

   protocol ip 172.16.56.6 broadcast

   ubr+ 3000 128

   oam-pvc manage 3

   encapsulation aal5snap

I chose to just to do the following:

interface ATM4/0.69 point-to-point

 ip address 172.16.56.6 255.255.255.252

 pvc 0/32

  ubr+ 3000 128

  broadcast

  oam-pvc manage 3

  encapsulation aal5snap

I guess am I wondering if, functionally, there is any difference. I am able
to ping across this interface as well as est. neighbors without the
'protocol ip xxx' so is this a viable solution to this task?
