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.

TCP
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
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();Additional samples

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