NAME

        wondershaper - simple traffic shaping script

SYNOPSIS

        wondershaper [interface]

        wondershaper clear [interface]

        wondershaper [interface] [downlink] [uplink]

DESCRIPTION

        This  manual page documents briefly the wondershaper script.  This man‐

        ual page was written for the Debian distribution because  the  original

        script does not have a manual page.

        wondershaper  is  a  traffic  shaping script that provides low latency,

        prioritizes bulk transfers below normal web traffic, prioritizes inter‐

        active  shells above normal web traffic, and attempts to prevent upload

        and download traffic from affecting each other’s ack packets.  Put sim‐

        ply, the wondershaper makes your internet connection more "responsive"
