Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows/PowerShell examples (using psping.exe) are shown first and in more detail, with Linux equivalents (telnet) mentioned briefly and only for port checking, not for packet drops or latency. The recommended troubleshooting tools (psping.exe, tcpping.exe) are Windows-only, and there is no guidance or example for Linux/macOS users to perform equivalent packet drop or latency tests. This creates friction for non-Windows users attempting network troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all troubleshooting commands, such as using 'nc', 'nmap', or 'hping3' for port and packet tests.
- Show Linux/macOS examples alongside Windows/PowerShell examples, not after or as an afterthought.
- Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., Wireshark, curl) where possible.
- Clarify which steps/tools are Windows-only and offer alternatives for other platforms.
- Consider reordering examples so that Windows and Linux/macOS are presented equally.
