From f07d91ba37cc22006413e80eefdc8d9a4b72b36b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Bryant Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2022 16:29:49 -0600 Subject: Corrected idiom in section about "arpd". Corrected spelling of "front end" -- it's twp words, not one. Changed square brackets to parentheses; square brackets should only be used to delimit editorial remarks. Removed one definite article referring to the plural; "the" implies a single object. Changed "amount" to "number". In English, an amount refers to a continuous quantity, while a number refers to discrete objects (like networking packetts). Added a qualifier in the description of "ip": the list of commands is not exhaustive. Modified a few program descriptons to improve consistency of style. Changed QOS and COS to QoS and CoS after researching these abbreviations on the internet. "Quality of Service" and "Class of Service" appear, to me, to be the most common way of writing these phrases. --- chapter08/iproute2.xml | 47 ++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) (limited to 'chapter08') diff --git a/chapter08/iproute2.xml b/chapter08/iproute2.xml index 25e7e81be..d57e4725c 100644 --- a/chapter08/iproute2.xml +++ b/chapter08/iproute2.xml @@ -42,12 +42,12 @@ Installation of IPRoute2 The arpd program included in this package will not - be built since it is dependent on Berkeley DB, which is not installed in - LFS.
