Research direction

No files or tests are named; start by locating the CLI entry points for ping, download, and upload measurements. Define the reported values for idle, download-loaded, upload-loaded, and default-gateway latency, then verify the CLI displays each requested result.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be great to have a value of the latency:

  • Idle (I guess it's what we get as "Ping:")
  • While performing a download test
  • While performing an upload test

Also, showing the ping time of the default gateway would be very useful.
