# rust-proxy [](https://crates.io/crates/meterproxy)
This is a meter proxy implemented in Rust, which interposes between a client and a server and measures the latency and the throughput. An asychronous version will come soon.
## Requirements
Of course, you will need Rust installed. If you haven't already, get it here: [rust-lang.org](https://www.rust-lang.org). Also you need [Cargo](https://crates.io) to easily compile. The rustc compiler version required is the 1.15.0-nightly.
## Usage
To use the proxy, add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
meterproxy = "0.1.1"
```
## Example Meter Proxy Usage
```rust
extern crate meterproxy;
use meterproxy::MeterProxy;
use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;
fn main() {
println!("Starting Proxy");
let meter_proxy=MeterProxy::MeterProxy::new("127.0.0.1".to_string(), 12347,"127.0.0.1".to_string(),12349);
let meter_proxy_c=meter_proxy.clone();
let child_proxy = thread::spawn(move || {
meter_proxy_c.start();
});
let mut n=0;
let sleep_time=2000;
while n<100{
n += 1;
//Do something
thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(sleep_time));
println!("The measured latency 'till now: {:.3} ms",meter_proxy.get_latency_ms());
println!("The measured throughput 'till now: {:.3}",meter_proxy.get_num_bytes_rcvd() as f64/(n*sleep_time) as f64);
}
meter_proxy.stop_and_reset();
let _ = child_proxy.join();
}
```
