Regarding use-case of the tools

[MichaelWasher]

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?

Hey @MichaelWasher, the repo together with the README is about to get updated with the new tools and rules for 4.12.
About tcpdump/iperf/etc this is exactly the place for such scripts - and we have these tools installed in the image and you can run different commands https://github.com/openshift/network-tools/blob/master/docs/user.md#running-custom-commands

If you have some specific use-case that needs to be automated with tools/scripts let's discuss it :)
