Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-09-12 Severity: wishlist * Package name : wondershaper Version : 1.1a Upstream Author : bert hubert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://lartc.org/wondershaper * License : GPLv2 Description : An easy to use traffic shaping script
Wondershaper uses the tc traffic shaping commands to control download and upload traffic, to minimize latency. First, traffic is limited to perhaps 90% of line rate. This prevents upstream buffers from filling with packets, which can cause latency. This also leaves some space available for new connections. Then, traffic is prioritized to send interactive (ssh) traffic and small ACK packets thru first, before bulk file transfer traffic. Upload and download traffic shaping is controled separately, which is required for asymmetric connections such as cablemodems and DSL. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux vlm 2.4.21-3-686 #1 Sun Jul 20 16:11:09 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
