:radio: WebSocket Benchmarker :watch:
Message throughput is how fast a WebSocket server can parse and respond to a message. Some people consider this to be a good reference of a framework/library/server's performance. This tool measures the message throughput under load by mocking concurrent clients.

Now with 100% more bleeding edge :zap: asyncio goodness.

Installation
Python 3.6.5+.
pip install -r requirements.txt
Usage
This program expects the host to be an echo server and measures the time between sending a message and recieving the same message back from the host. It performs this for a number of client connections simultaneously and is designed to produce repeatable results.
python bench.py will launch the benchmark and print statistics to stdout. If the log file path is to a non-file then one will be created otherwise results will be appended to the existing file.
The raw results are in CSV format with each line representing a client's roundtrip times.
E.g., 0.1, 0.1, 0.1 for one client performing three roundtrips.
| Arg | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--h | Host address of WebSocket server | localhost:3000 |
--n | Number of clients to create | 1000 |
--c | Number of concurrent clients | 64 |
--r | Roundtrips per client | 5 |
--s | Message size in characters | 30 |
--l | Path to create or append to a log file | ./log.txt |
