README

linkio GoDoc Build Status

linkio provides an io.Reader and io.Writer that simulate a network connection of a certain speed, e.g. to simulate a mobile connection.

Quick start

You can use linkio to wrap existing io.Reader and io.Writer interfaces:

// Create a new link at 512kbps
link = linkio.NewLink(512 * linkio.KilobitPerSecond)

// Open a connection
conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", "google.com:80")
if err != nil {
  // handle error
}

// Create a link reader/writer
linkReader := link.NewLinkReader(io.Reader(conn))
linkWriter := link.NewLinkWriter(io.Writer(conn))

// Use them as you would normally...
fmt.Fprintf(linkWriter, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n")
status, err := bufio.NewReader(linkReader).ReadString('\n')
