DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
wondershaper script. This manual
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 interactive
shells above normal web traffic, and attempts to prevent upload and download
traffic from affecting each other's ack packets. Put simply, the wondershaper
makes your internet connection more "responsive"
