try on your machine

The command "wondershaper -a ${adapter_name} -d ${1024} -u ${512}" is used to configure network traffic shaping on a specific network adapter.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "wondershaper" is the name of a network traffic shaping tool.
  • "-a" is an option that specifies the network adapter to apply the traffic shaping to.
  • "${adapter_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the network adapter you want to shape traffic on. You need to replace it with the actual name of the network adapter.
  • "-d" is an option that sets the download (incoming) speed limit in kilobits per second (Kbps).
  • "${1024}" is a placeholder for the download speed limit you want to set. You can replace it with the desired limit in Kbps. For example, if you want to set the limit to 1 Mbps, use "-d 1024".
  • "-u" is an option that sets the upload (outgoing) speed limit in kilobits per second (Kbps).
  • "${512}" is a placeholder for the upload speed limit you want to set. You can replace it with the desired limit in Kbps. For example, if you want to set the limit to 512 Kbps, use "-u 512".

To use the command, you need to specify the network adapter name, download speed limit, and upload speed limit according to your requirements.
