Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias throughout. All code examples are in PowerShell, and the workflow is centered around the AzureCT PowerShell module, which is only available for Windows. The instructions for installing and running tools (iPerf, PSPing) are Windows-centric, including references to Windows Firewall and installation paths (e.g., C:\ACTTools). There is no step-by-step guidance or command-line examples for Linux users, and Linux is only mentioned passively as a possible remote host. Even in the test setup and results, only Windows Server is used. The documentation does not provide Linux equivalents for the PowerShell-based workflow, nor does it mention or demonstrate how to perform equivalent tests on Linux systems.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel Linux instructions and examples for each step, including how to install and use iPerf and PSPing (or Linux alternatives) on Linux hosts.
- Include bash or shell command examples for Linux users, alongside PowerShell examples.
- Document how to perform link performance tests between two Linux hosts, or between Windows and Linux, without requiring the AzureCT PowerShell module.
- Clarify which parts of the workflow are Windows-only and offer alternative workflows for Linux environments.
- Include sample output from Linux command-line tools to help Linux users interpret their results.
- Mention Linux firewall configuration (e.g., ufw, firewalld, iptables) where Windows Firewall is discussed.
- In test setup and results, include scenarios using Linux VMs and servers, not just Windows Server.
