+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]
+```
