Overview
NiceShaper is a program working in a Linux router environment. It uses a proven HTB QOS algorithm. It provides dynamic traffic shaping which is more effective than traditional, static shaping. By constantly monitoring packets flowing through the router in response to changing load dynamically adjusts the bandwidth of acting classes to a level enabling the fullest possible usage of a internet access. At the same time does not allow for creation of congestion, ensuring complete convenience of interactive services.
NiceShaper protects each class which use reasonable amount of bandwidth and takes care of overall download when upload is close to stop up.
