Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. The primary troubleshooting command for checking dropped packets uses the Windows-only 'psping.exe' tool and provides a PowerShell/Windows command-line example, with only a vague mention of 'equivalent commands' for other tools. There are no concrete Linux or cross-platform command examples (e.g., using 'nc', 'telnet', or 'curl'), and the download link for 'psping' points to a Microsoft Sysinternals page, which is Windows-specific. The structure and order of examples and tool recommendations prioritize Windows users and tools.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS equivalents for all troubleshooting commands, such as using 'nc', 'telnet', or 'curl' to test TCP connectivity.
  • Include both Windows and Linux command examples side by side, or use cross-platform tools where possible.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-only tools (like 'psping.exe') as the primary or only example; if mentioned, always pair with a Linux alternative.
  • Clarify instructions for obtaining and running tools on non-Windows platforms.
  • Consider using more platform-neutral language and tool recommendations throughout the documentation.
