Section 02
Where shaping happens
The layer decides what it can reach. Every entry is one layer, one mechanism, or one reason the delay is there.
- 01
Inside the kernel
Shaping in the operating system reaches everything that machine sends, and nothing that anything else does.
- 02
The settings panel
A front end onto the same machinery, which is convenient and hides what it is doing.
- 03
Through a proxy
A proxy only shapes what is routed through it, which is either exactly what you want or a trap.
- 04
At the link
Shaping at the router or switch covers every device on the network, including the ones nobody remembered.
Every section is listed in full on the browse page.
