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]
|
|
```
