How should we add the protocol preferences? Do we do one page per protocol, or do we list each preference on a separate wiki page? -- Olivier Biot
- Good question, I think it would be good with one page for each preference setting, so it is easy to find it both by searching for it as well as from the index. Maybe also with one main page for the protocol that links to the protocol specific preferences. So that all the TCP preferences above would still remain as separate pages but the TCP above would be come its own page and the three preferences for TCP would be linkes from that page. I dont feel strongly about how we add it so anyone make a decision and I will follow it (ronnie)
  
  (Stephen Flynn) I think one page per protocol will be cleaner looking and easier to find, since many preferences only need a couple of lines to describe them. Only on the protocols like TCP, where bigger descriptions are required, do we need to break out new pages per preference setting.
