Description

I have noted the Gathering logs is not in the scope of these scripts and are better suited on the openshift/must-gather image quote from the README and have questions about when to / when to not use this repo for tools.

I can see that there are a number of scripts that perform tests on the current state of the network, similar to sanity checks or unit-tests on the network. I do not see tools that collect information for further debug, such as collecting PCAPs or running / collecting iPerf output.

Is this the appropriate place for writing these kinds of tools or is it intended for this repo to contain only smoke-tests and pass/fail tests on the network?

Research direction

Review the README's scope statement and the existing network-test scripts, then compare them with the proposed PCAP and iPerf collection use cases. Done would require a maintainer decision and documented scope before implementation can be defined.
