Just finished watching Nimish's VMworld 2017 and noticed the same, he directed us to this page and said he was working on an update. March-2019, Anybody?
When will this document get updated? Nimish said in VMworld 2017, Reference Design, he is working on updated version of the design guide.

JoshuaAndrewsVM this is probably the forum to discuss about your question on this thread Logical Routing Components table in the NSX Design Guide
VerdantBlue nikhilvmw any ideas on who should we contact if we would like to provide feedback to this design guide document?
Chapter 5.3.7 seems to have wrong reference numbers for the figures. Seemed to be fine again in 5.3.8, but a few sub chapters down it's wrong again...
That's a massive update on the 3.0 version of this guide you got there. Many thanks!
You are Welcome Raymundo!
big thanks for this !!!
We will surely update the document in the upcoming months to integrate the specific new functionalities brought to NSX by the release of vSphere 6.0.
Max, will there be many changes once vSphere 6 is released? Loving the document, read it various times during my VCIX preps.
You are welcome Billy, feel free to hit us with questions, comments or suggestions on how to improve the doc.
Happy New Year,
