Have you ever wondered how an application or a system would operate under low bandwidth environments? Luckily `wondershaper` is a tool to help with just that!
```bash
sudo apt install wondershaper
```
To get started, first find out the network `interface` that you want to throttle.
```bash
ip addr show
```
To show the state of the interface,
```bash
sudo wondershaper [interface]
```
To set the bandwidth,
```bash
sudo wondershaper [interface] [downlink] [uplink]
```
where downlink and uplink are defined in kilobits per second.
To clear the rules,
```bash
sudo wondershaper clear [interface]
