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"
