Network functionality for [NautilusTrader](https://nautilustrader.io).
The `nautilus-network` crate provides networking components including HTTP, WebSocket, and raw TCP socket
clients, rate limiting, backoff strategies, and socket TLS utilities for connecting to
trading venues and data providers.
## NautilusTrader
[NautilusTrader](https://nautilustrader.io) is an open-source, production-grade, Rust-native
engine for multi-asset, multi-venue trading systems.
The system spans research, deterministic simulation, and live execution within a single
event-driven architecture, providing research-to-live semantic parity.
## Feature flags
This crate provides feature flags to control source code inclusion during compilation:
- `python`: Enables Python bindings from [PyO3](https://pyo3.rs).
- `extension-module`: Builds as a Python extension module.
- `turmoil`: Enables deterministic network simulation testing with [turmoil](https://github.com/tokio-rs/turmoil).
## Testing
The crate includes both standard integration tests and deterministic network simulation tests using turmoil.
To run standard tests:
```bash
cargo nextest run -p nautilus-network
```
To run turmoil network simulation tests:
```bash
cargo nextest run -p nautilus-network --features turmoil
```
The turmoil tests simulate various network conditions (reconnections, partitions, etc.) in a deterministic way,
allowing reliable testing of network failure scenarios without flakiness.
