Can we please add net-tools to the image? Very small and easy to add and gives a lot of tools. Thank you

thank you, I just wonder what the container can gain by adding this. Could you elaborate a bit on use case scenarios?
This seems like a no-brainer and is extremely easy to implement. Anyone troubleshooting iptables or routing issues will benefit from these tools. As it stands now, you cannot see the route tables. Arp will allow you to see who is listening on the immediate active interface. As it stands now, you have to go in and manually install the tools to see this. Adding route will also allow the implementer to benefit from updating/adding routing rules in the case of esoteric/unique routing implementations. You may also find these tools can assist in some scripts you implement in the future. Additionally, the foot print is extremely small.
