# speedbump - TCP proxy with variable latency

Speedbump is a TCP proxy written in Go which allows for simulating variable network latency.

## Usage

### Installation

The easiest way to install speedbump is to download pre-built binaries for your platform that are automatically attached to each [release](https://github.com/kffl/speedbump/releases/) under _Assets_. If you wish to build speedbump from source, clone this repository and run `go build`. Alternatively, you can run speedbump as a container using the [kffl/speedbump](https://hub.docker.com/r/kffl/speedbump) image.

### Basic usage examples

Spawn a new instance listening on port 2000 that proxies TCP traffic to localhost:80 with a base latency of 100ms and sine wave amplitude of 100ms (resulting in maximum added latency being 200ms and minimum being 0), period of which is 1 minute:

```
speedbump --latency=100ms --sine-amplitude=100ms --sine-period=1m --port=2000 localhost:80
```

or when running speedbump using the [kffl/speedbump](https://hub.docker.com/r/kffl/speedbump) container image:

```
docker run --net=host kffl/speedbump:latest --latency=100ms --sine-amplitude=100ms \
--sine-period=1m --port=2000 localhost:80
```

Spawn a new instance with a base latency of 300ms and a sawtooth wave latency summand with amplitude of 200ms and period of 2 minutes (visualized by the graph below):

```
speedbump --latency=300ms --saw-amplitude=200ms --saw-period=2m --port=2000 localhost:80
```

### Combining latency summands

It is possible to run speedbump with multiple latency summands at once:

## CLI Arguments Reference:

Output of `speedbump --help`:

```
usage: speedbump []

TCP proxy for simulating variable network latency.

Flags:
--help Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and
--help-man).
--host="" IP or hostname to listen on. Speedbump will bind to
all available network interfaces if unspecified.
--port=8000 Port number to listen on.
--buffer=64KB Size of the buffer used for TCP reads.
--queue-size=1024 Size of the delay queue storing read buffers.
--latency=5ms Base latency added to proxied traffic.
--log-level=INFO Log level. Possible values: DEBUG, TRACE, INFO, WARN,
ERROR.
--sine-amplitude=0 Amplitude of the latency sine wave.
--sine-period=0 Period of the latency sine wave.
--saw-amplitude=0 Amplitude of the latency sawtooth wave.
--saw-period=0 Period of the latency sawtooth wave.
--square-amplitude=0 Amplitude of the latency square wave.
--square-period=0 Period of the latency square wave.
--triangle-amplitude=0 Amplitude of the latency triangle wave.
--triangle-period=0 Period of the latency triangle wave.
--version Show application version.

Args:
TCP proxy destination in host:post format.
```

## Using speedbump as a library

Speedbump can be used as a Go library via its `lib` package. Check `lib` [README](lib/README.md) for additional information.
