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 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 inter-
       active  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"
