When I first encountered this article, I couldn't understand it as it made almost no sense to me (and I have a background in telecommunications engineering.) It assumes a degree of understanding in computer networks that only a specialist in the field of computer security might understand. The acronyms, jargon and computerese might mean something to a computer security professional, perhaps, but the average reader would need to do a lot of research to understand it. Wikipedia articles should be written for the reader, first, so that they can understand it and find it useful. An article like this needs to be comprehensible to the average reader who knows nothing about computers. While it is good to go in to details deeper in the article, editors need to be mindful that most readers will not understand the details without a lot of explanation, which should be given within the article. That said, editors also should not over-simplify an article and use vague or meaningless terms that do not explain, generally, what happens. Readers are generally intelligent people and do understand technical concepts that are explained in non-technical ways. I have added some clean-up tags to indicate where non-technical language needs to be used. While editors may understand what the acts of focussing or targeting means or what traffic is, the average reader might only focus their camera, think you throw darts at a target or drive a car in traffic and not realize these words have other (jargon) meanings. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 08:19, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
