trafficshaper 0.1.0

Easily configure your network behavior on Linux (generates tc rules from a config)

Intro

Tired of dealing with major & minor numbers? You like the TOML format (kind of "ini" on steroids)? Always wanted to play with traffic shaping on linux but it turned too complex or confusing? This alpha tool aims at simplifying the learning curve for traffic control on ip route 2.

The format started quite close to the original command-line and progressively adds more support and shorter or easier notations.

Forget about classid, flowid. Consider parent sometimes handle for complex scenarios only!

Check the examples folder to dive into the syntax.
