Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

NodeJS wrapper for tc command (traffic control on linux)

Readme

tc-wrapper

Wrapper & parser of linux tc command (traffic control).

Allow setting, consulting and deleting rules of delay, jitter, bandwidth and corruption

Installation

This module is installed via npm:

npm install --save tc-wrapper

Changelog

  • 1.0.8: Removed network parameter and included srcNetwork & dstNetwork paramenters

Usage

The library export a instantiable class that has three major methods: del, get and set, for deleting, fetching and setting tc rules. Keep in mind that set method will call del before execute, so it will clean all the rules before aplying the new ones.

Allowed targeting

Currently tc-wrapper only supports ip traffic, and can match by network, src and dst ports.

Allowed modificators

  • rate: Bandwith limitation, htb algorith will be used, tbf is not supported (yet).
  • delay: Round trip time of packets, will be added as additional time.
  • jitter: Delay variation normal-distributed.
  • loss: Packet loss, in percentage.
  • corrupt: Packet corruption, in percentage.

Clean all rules for eth0

import TCWrapper from 'tc-wrapper';

const tcWrapper = new TCWrapper('eth0');

tc.Wrapper.get().then((rules) => {
  /* rules looks like:
  {
    "outgoing": {
      "srcNetwork=0.0.0.0/0,protocol=ip": {
        "delay": "1.0ms",
        "jitter": "0.5%",
        "loss": "3%",
        "corrupt": "2%",
        "rate": "10Mbit"
      }
    },
    "incoming": {
      "dstNetwork=192.168.1.1/32,protocol=ip": {
        "loss": "9%",
      },
      "dstNetwork=192.168.1.1/32,srcNetwork=10.10.10.0/28,srcPort=80,protocol=ip": {
        "rate": "100Mbit",
      }
    }
  }
  */
});

Increase output packets Round Trip Time by 20 ms

import TCWrapper from 'tc-wrapper';

const tcWrapper = new TCWrapper('eth0');

const myRules = {
  outgoing: {
    'dstNetwork=0.0.0.0/0,protocol=ip':{
      delay: '20ms'
    }
  }
};

tc.Wrapper.set(myRules).then((rules) => {
  // Rules set!
});

Limit incoming bandwith of eth0 to 20 Mbit

import TCWrapper from 'tc-wrapper';

const tcWrapper = new TCWrapper('eth0');

const myRules = {
  incoming: {
    'srcNetwork=0.0.0.0/0,protocol=ip':{
      rate: '20Mbit'
    }
  }
};

tc.Wrapper.set(myRules).then((rules) => {
  // Rules set!
});
