The easiest way to install speedbump is to download pre-built binaries for your platform that are automatically attached to each release 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 image.
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 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
It is possible to run speedbump with multiple latency summands at once:
Output of speedbump --help
:
usage: speedbump [<flags>] <destination>
TCP proxy for simulating variable network latency.

Args:
<destination> TCP proxy destination in host:post format.
Speedbump can be used as a Go library via its lib
package. Check lib
