# NetCrusher for Java

NetCrusher is TCP/UDP proxy framework for Java and a command line tool that could be placed in the middle between any client and server and allows to check both sides for failover.

* emulates network failures
* emulates frozen connection
* supports both TCP and UDP
* supports multiple dynamic connections through the same proxy tunnel
* allows to check the state of connections
* allows to filter/dump data
* supports throttling (delay and/or throughput control)
* garbage-less buffering
* high performance (16.6 Gbits on loopback interface of my laptop)
* supports IP4/IP6

NetCrusher is build on top of Java 8 NIO and has no external dependencies except [SLF4J](http://www.slf4j.org/).

Read [documentation](https://netcrusherorg.github.io/netcrusher-java/).

Download [latest dist.tar.gz](http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22com.github.netcrusherorg%22%20AND%20a%3A%22netcrusher-core%22) to get the command line tool.

# TCP

```java
NioReactor reactor = new NioReactor();

TcpCrusher crusher = TcpCrusherBuilder.builder()
    .withReactor(reactor)
    .withBindAddress("localhost", 10080)
    .withConnectAddress("google.com", 80)
    .buildAndOpen();

// ... some actions

// emulate reconnect
crusher.reopen();

// ... check the client connection is reestablished successfully

// closing
crusher.close();
reactor.close();
```

# UDP

```java
NioReactor reactor = new NioReactor();

DatagramCrusher crusher = DatagramCrusherBuilder.builder()
    .withReactor(reactor)
    .withBindAddress("localhost", 10188)
    .withConnectAddress("time-nw.nist.gov", 37)
    .buildAndOpen();

// ... some actions

// check data is sent
Assert.assertTrue(crusher.getInner().getReadDatagramMeter().getTotal() > 0);

// closing
crusher.close();
reactor.close();
```

# Command line

For manual QA the command-line wrapper is available both for TCP and Datagram mode

```
$ ./run-tcp-crusher.sh 127.0.0.1:12345 google.com:80
# Version: 0.8
# Print `HELP` for the list of the commands
# enter the command in the next line
