AWS network-manager documentation change

Service: network-manager · 2025-05-01 · Documentation low

File: network-manager/latest/cloudwan/cloudwan-connect-peer-attachment.md

Summary

Clarified BGP peer address requirement to use private IPv4 and corrected typo in IPv6 address exchange documentation.

Security assessment

The change specifies 'private IPv4 address' instead of generic 'IPv4 address', promoting use of internal addresses as a security best practice to reduce exposure. However, there is no explicit evidence of a resolved security vulnerability. The typo correction ('addres' to 'address') is unrelated to security.
