socket proxy with latency

slocat: proxy sockets with extra latency

slocat copies data between tcp and/or unix sockets, adding a configurable delay (to both directions).

For example, to simulate a 10ms ping to your postgres server:

$ slocat -delay 5ms -dst localhost:5432 -src localhost:5433 &
$ psql "host=localhost port=5433"

or

$ slocat -delay 5ms -dst /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 -src /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5433 &
$ psql "port=5433"
