Package: shapecfg (2.2.12-0.7.3-2.2)

Bandwidth limiter for virtual network interfaces

The traffic shaper for Linux configures a virtual interface, for which all outgoing packets are shaped. This means that you may set parameters and limits on outgoing network traffic. Incoming traffic may not be limited or shaped using this utility. See /usr/share/doc/shapecfg/README.shapecfg.gz for instructions.

shapecfg for Debian was ported from Red Hat's utility of the same name
