Tproxy
Tproxy is a set of command-line utilities designed for throttling bandwidth, simulating network latency, proxying TCP traffic, and analyzing connection stability. It provides a toolset for redirecting network traffic from local ports to remote destinations while monitoring the resulting connection behavior.
The project differentiates itself by combining traffic manipulation with diagnostic monitoring. It can introduce configurable packet delays and cap upload and download transfer speeds to simulate constrained or low-bandwidth network environments.
Beyond traffic control, the utilities include observability capabilities for tracking connection reliability metrics. This covers the analysis of round-trip times and packet retransmission rates to measure network stability.
Features
- Traffic Interception - Captures and redirects TCP streams from local ports to remote destinations using a proxying mechanism.
- Bandwidth Limiters - Caps upload and download transfer speeds in bytes per second to simulate constrained environments.
- Bandwidth Throttling Simulators - Caps upload and download transfer speeds to simulate constrained or low-bandwidth network environments.
- Bandwidth Throttling Mechanisms - Implements data throughput control by buffering packets and releasing them at fixed byte-per-second intervals.
- TCP Proxies - Provides a command line tool for redirecting and analyzing TCP network traffic between local ports and remote destinations.
- Traffic Proxying - Redirects network traffic from a local port to a remote destination to analyze protocol behavior for various services.
- Stream Piping - Relays data bidirectionally between clients and servers through synchronized network sockets.
- Network Latency Simulators - Introduces configurable packet delays to test how applications handle slow network responses and timeouts.
- Network Latency Simulation - Introduces artificial delays by holding outgoing packets in a timed queue before relaying them.
- Network Traffic Analyzers - Monitors connection reliability metrics including retransmission rates and round-trip time for network stability.
- Connection Stability Metrics - Tracks retransmission rates and round-trip time to measure network stability and connection pool behavior.
- Reliability Statistics - Tracks connection reliability metrics such as retransmission rates and round-trip time to measure network stability.
- Retransmission Rate Tracking - Analyzes packet headers to track retransmission counts and round-trip times for stability monitoring.
- Network Traffic Analysis - Redirects network traffic from a local port to a remote destination to analyze protocol behavior.
