It does this by: * Limiting upload speed slightly, to eliminate queues * Limiting download speed, while allowing bursts, to eliminate queues * Interactive traffic skips the queue * ACKs and tiny packets skip the queue Configuring the wondershaper requires you to accurately and precisely determine your consistent upload and download speeds. The wondershaper is the simplest, easiest to use, entry level, traffic shaping script provided by Debian. After installing this package, read highly the detailed instructions: /usr/share/doc/wondershaper/README.Debian Best regards Mart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
