# Throughput example
This example shows the throughput among differents transport in both ways: used by `message-io` and used isolated from the library, natively.
The aim is to compare two dimensions: different procols among us and the overhead `message-io` adds.
To run this tests, run:
```sh
cargo run --release --example throughput
```
**NOT FORGET** to run this example with the `--release` flag to get the real measurements.
The throughput is measured by sending *1GB* of data between two connected endpoints by **localhost**.
The measure starts when the sender starts sending the data and finished when the receiver receives
the entire data.
