Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific network troubleshooting tools (tracert, pathping) and linking to their Windows documentation, without mentioning or providing equivalent Linux tools (such as traceroute, mtr). The only command-line example provided is with curl in Bash, which is cross-platform, but all network path diagnostics are described using Windows terminology and tools, with no Linux or macOS equivalents or examples.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux/macOS equivalents for network path diagnostics, such as 'traceroute' and 'mtr', alongside 'tracert' and 'pathping'.
  • Provide example commands for both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (bash/terminal) when discussing network troubleshooting steps.
  • Link to documentation for Linux/macOS tools (e.g., man pages for traceroute/mtr) in addition to Windows command references.
  • Use neutral language when referring to tools (e.g., 'use a tool such as traceroute (Linux/macOS) or tracert (Windows)') rather than defaulting to Windows-first phrasing.
  • Where possible, provide screenshots or output samples from both Windows and Linux tools to ensure parity.
