Traffic Shaper
Shape Upstream:
Link Rate
Select this option to enable Traffic Shaper for outgoing traffic. Then type
a rate (in kilobits/second) slightly lower than your Internet connection's
maximum measured upstream speed in the field provided.
It is recommended to try different rates in order to determine which one
provides the best results.
For information on using Traffic Shaper, see Using Traffic Shaper on

Shap

Downstream: Link
Rate
Select this option to enable Traffic Shaper for incoming traffic. Then type
a rate (in kilobits/second) slightly lower than your Internet connection's
maximum measured downstream speed in the field provided.
It is recommended to try different rates in order to determine which one
provides the best results.
Note: Traffic Shaper cannot control the number or type of packets it
receives from the Internet; it can only affect the rate of incoming traffic by
dropping received packets. This makes the shaping of inbound traffic
less accurate than the shaping of outbound traffic. It is therefore
recommended to enable traffic shaping for incoming traffic only if
necessary.
