Re: [Wg-ipv6-guide] (ToC 7.2) Documentation required (fwd)



Hi all,


Good idea. I think it's useful to supply this information as long as
it's clearly stated that it's not mandatory.

It's more of a formatting issue rather than the contents, but may I
suggest to create a seperate section such as " Supplementary
Documentation"(Name can be different)? Then, we can state about the
vendor/model name here.

I thought putting it under "Documentation Required" section make give
the impression that they are mandatory.
