Someone linked a document a few weeks ago that address the topic of abbreviations and when the abbreviation is the common form it is acceptable to just use the abbreviation.

I don’t think anyone in their right mind would open every article with HTML(Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS( Cascading Style Sheets).

For networking it would be the same with BGP/OSPF/RIP.

But it is it a networking post? It's a networking blog in general, but this post is clearly targeted at people interested in a rust scripting language and should expect wider distribution.
