Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

[Let's reverse-engineer] "New Client Information"-stamp | "X 06-00-00" stands for "ping - inbound packet loss - outbound packet loss". More to come.
Personally I'm doing some testing with a utility called "Clumsy" (git), which allows you to simulate your latency, packet loss, throttling, duplicate packets, out-of-order packets etc on a network-adapter level.

[Znorux] CS2 works to SUBTICKS (the package is sent "INSTA", in MICRO seconds) If you click, the engine sends it, it's technical madness. It is the fastest engine there is at a competitive network and feedback level, if you hit the bullet, it will send that packet at that precise moment.
Finally, I'll test resiliency against poor network conditions in DM with clumsy, along with Wireshark to see what gets retransmitted and how often the server sends full-frame updates to a client experiencing poor network conditions.

Speedbump – a TCP proxy to simulate variable network latency
Checkout also shopify's awesome tool called toxiproxy: https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy
It turns out to be also a very good way to test a networking library by implementing it. Since your stack needs to be able to basically handle most adverse events properly.
The idea behind 'chaos engineering' is cool.

Regarding default TCP setting in Golang and how it effects speed
That's why I usually recommend anybody that develops network critical apps to test their app with something like toxiproxy and purposfully mess with their connections and simulate network issues.

Performance testing with slow connection and packet loss
We use this thing. https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy I am not sure that it supports windows, but you can install it to the Linux machine and route your application under the test to that proxy.

Ask HN: How do I force network failures during development against remote APIs?
https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy is a perfect solution for that. I used it quite successfully years ago and it looks like it's still pretty active.

Is there a tool to control bandwidth for debugging purposes?
Looking at the toxiproxy you mentioned, it seems like it should do what you want though? TLS is generally over TCP anyway, so it should still be able to throttle those connections - it just wont understand the encryption. I also saw a pull request for having it act as a TLS man-in-the-middle proxy: https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy/pull/270
What are some alternatives?
When comparing clumsy and toxiproxy you can also consider the following projects:
