we can only access same pakset's server, so I want to leave a note of server info for each pakset folders.
pakset_server_info.patch
sample:
# pak_dir/config/servers.tab
# Lines starting with # are comments
# Format: display_name = address[:port]
My NS Server = myserver.example.com:13353
pakset_server_info_demo.png
What is the difference between that and server_name (https://simutrans-germany.com/wiki/wiki/de_simuconf_tab_network?page_ref_id=1754#server_name) (simuconf.tab)?
This file is for clients.
Clients can easy find the sever which using this pakset.
(But I'm sorry I don't really understand how to use the `network_stuff` section in `simuconf.tab`)
Furthermore, this proposal allows you to make a note of information regarding multiple servers that use your current pakset
I still do not understand. The serverinfo has already a line where one can give a link to a pakset or any other info. And the paksetname is transferred with the server. And one can even get a list of mismatched/missing objects for the own pakset.

You're mistaken. The network parameters in simuconf.tab are also for the server settings.
The client doesn't transmit the data to the server list; the server does.
This allows you to create shortcuts to access unannounced (open for limited members) servers or servers in your local network.

In my local network, I know the server's IP address and connect to it.
You can just open any server with "net:123.456.789.123" or net:[2f34::0012]" or "net:serves.simtrans-forum.de" Make a shortcut on the desktop for that containing "simutrans -obj pak.special -load net:xyz.org" as command in it.
Also, the info in such a a pakset folder might become stale very quickly, if it is an IP number.
