DESCRIPTION
wondershaper is a simple shell script that limits network bandwidth on a per-interface basis using Linux traffic control. It provides an easy way to set download and upload speed limits in kilobits per second without needing to understand the complex tc command syntax directly.
The tool works by applying traffic shaping rules to the specified network interface. Limits can be displayed, set, or cleared with straightforward commands. It is commonly used for testing applications under bandwidth-constrained conditions or for preventing a single machine from saturating a shared network connection.
