Function	loopbackAsync	Establish a connection between `server` and `client` then transfer data between them until the connection is closed. This is often useful for testing a protocol.
Class	LoopbackRelay	Undocumented
Function	loopback	Run session between server and client. DEPRECATED in Twisted 2.5. Use loopbackAsync instead.
Class	LoopbackClientFactory	Undocumented
Function	loopbackTCP	Run session between server and client protocol instances over TCP.
Function	loopbackUNIX	Run session between server and client protocol instances over UNIX socket.
Class	_LoopbackQueue	Trivial wrapper around a list to give it an interface like a queue, which the addition of also sending notifications by way of a Deferred whenever the list has something added to it.

def loopbackAsync(server, client): (source)

Establish a connection between server and client then transfer data between them until the connection is closed. This is often useful for testing a protocol.

Parameters	server	The protocol instance representing the server-side of this connection.
	client	The protocol instance representing the client-side of this connection.
Returns	A `Deferred` which fires when the connection has been closed and both sides have received notification of this.

def _loopbackAsyncBody(server, serverToClient, client, clientToServer): (source)

Transfer bytes from the output queue of each protocol to the input of the other.

Parameters	server	The protocol instance representing the server-side of this connection.
	serverToClient	The `_LoopbackQueue` holding the server's output.
	client	The protocol instance representing the client-side of this connection.
	clientToServer	The `_LoopbackQueue` holding the client's output.
Returns	A `Deferred` which fires when the connection has been closed and both sides have received notification of this.
