SYNOPSIS

       wondershaper [interface]
       wondershaper clear [interface]
       wondershaper [interface] [downlink] [uplink]

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"
