grunt-throttle

A Grunt plugin for testing under a throttled connection.

Overview

Add the following configuration to your Gruntfile to throttle all TCP connections to localhost:8000 to an aggregate bandwidth of 10KB/s upstream and 100KB/s downstream:

    throttle: {
        default: {
            remote_port: 8000,
            local_port: 8001,
            upstream: 10*1024,
            downstream: 100*1024,
            keepalive: true
        }
    }

Now you can simulate a slow connection to localhost:8000 by running grunt throttle and visiting localhost:8001.

You can add multiple stanzas like default above to throttle multiple destinations. Note, however, that throttling is per-destination.

Options

The following options are available for each configuration stanza.

remote_host

Type: String Default: '127.0.0.1'

The remote host to which connections are to be throttled.

remote_port

Type: Integer

The remote TCP port to which connections are to be throttled.

local_host

Type: String Default: '127.0.0.1'

The local address to bind to. Set to '0.0.0.0' to allow incoming connections from anywhere.

local_port

Type: Integer

The local TCP port to bind to.

upstream

Type: Integer Default: 10240

The upstream data rate, in bytes per second.

downstream

Type: Integer Default: 10240

The downstream data rate, in bytes per second.

keepalive

Type: Boolean Default: false

Whether this task should prevent Grunt from exiting.
