Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools (PsPing, TCPing, netstat, netsh) and command prompt instructions, with Linux equivalents either mentioned secondarily or omitted. Troubleshooting steps and examples are predominantly Windows-centric, with Linux commands only briefly referenced and lacking parity in detail or tool recommendations.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-first or parallel Linux examples alongside Windows instructions for all troubleshooting steps.
- Include Linux-native tools (e.g., ss, nc, lsof, firewalld, ufw) for port and firewall checks, not just netstat and iptables.
- Offer explicit Linux command-line examples for connectivity testing (e.g., using nc or curl for probe testing), not just mention Windows tools like PsPing and TCPing.
- Ensure all tool recommendations (e.g., for packet tracing or firewall inspection) have both Windows and Linux alternatives, with equal detail and example usage.
- Structure troubleshooting steps so that Windows and Linux instructions are presented together, rather than Windows first or exclusively.
