+# Toxiproxy Test Network
+
+This is a small Docker container network with Styx and one Apache httpd origin. 
+They are connected via Toxiproxy server that can simulate various network error
+conditions (aka toxics).
+
+## Installation
+
+Local Toxiproxy installation is not necessary. It is deployed into this container 
+network from Docker Hub. However you may want to use `toxiproxy-cli` for configuration
+management. In that case just install it locally:
+
+On Mac OSX:
+
+```bash
+$ brew install toxiproxy
+```
+
+## Startup
+
+First, build a development Docker image for Styx:
+
+```bash
+$ make docker
+``` 
+
+Ensure the image was built:
+
+```bash
+$ docker images |grep styxcore
+styxcore         latest      9b65640de45b        31 minutes ago      343MB
+```
+
+Bootstrap the network:
+
+```bash
+$ docker-compose -f system-tests/docker-toxiproxy/docker-compose.yml up
+```
+
+
+## Applying Toxics
+
+### HTTP API
+
+Inspecting configuration:
+
+```bash
+$ curl http://localhost:8474/proxies | jq
+```
+
+Applying toxics:
+
+```bash
+$ curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @system-tests/docker-toxiproxy/toxiproxy/origin-latency.json http://localhost:8474/proxies/httpd-01/toxics
+```
+
+Removing toxics:
+```bash
+$ curl -v -X DELETE http://localhost:8474/proxies/httpd-01/toxics/latency_downstream
+```
+
+
+### Command Line
+
+Inspecting configuration:
+
+```bash
+$ toxiproxy-cli list
+```
+
+```bash
+$ toxiproxy-cli inspect httpd-01
+```
+
+Applying toxics:
+
+```bash
+$ toxiproxy-cli toxic add -t latency -tox 1 -d -a latency=5000 -a jitter=2000 httpd-01
+```
+
+Removing toxics:
+
+```bash
+$ toxiproxy-cli toxic r -n latency_downstream httpd-01
+```
