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.

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.

Twenty-five open-source network emulators and simulators you can use in 2023
I use this to simulate delays between various local services:

Artificially Producing Poor Internet?
Idk about firewall level, but application level I’d recommend https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy

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

Common Open Research Emulator (CORE) is a tool for emulating networks (added support for LXD/LXC and Docker
CORE: https://github.com/coreemu/core 3 The Common Open Research Emulator (CORE) is a tool for emulating networks on one or more machines. You can connect these emulated networks to live networks. CORE consists of a GUI for drawing topologies of lightweight virtual machines, and Python modules for scripting network emulation.

Shadow Simlulator – run real applications over a simulated Internet topology
A quick look (by searching for bgp) suggests that this handles the upper layers, but doesn't try to simulate some of the deeper layers of a network such as bgp. Which something that emulators like core can do [0].
