Description-en: Easy to use traffic shaping script
An easy to use traffic shaping script that provides these improvements:
* Low latency for interactive traffic (and pings) at all times
* Allow websurfing at reasonable speeds while uploading / downloading
* Make sure uploads don't hurt downloads
* Make sure downloads don't hurt uploads
.
It does this by:
* Limiting upload speed slightly, to eliminate queues
* Limiting download speed, while allowing bursts, to eliminate queues
* Interactive traffic skips the queue
* ACKs and tiny packets skip the queue
.
Configuring the wondershaper requires you to accurately and precisely
determine your consistent upload and download speeds.
.
The wondershaper is the simplest, easiest to use, entry level, traffic
shaping script provided by Debian.
.
After installing this package, read highly the detailed instructions:
/usr/share/doc/wondershaper/README.Debian
