Thanks for working to make our documentation better.  A few notes,
though...

This is a networking-related patch, so it really needs to go to the
networking maintainers.

Please word-wrap your changelog text.

This isn't a recognized tag, so shouldn't be expressed this way.  If you
want, you can describe your testing setup after the "---" line.

The actual changes are best reviewed by the networking developers.
