This shaping script was developed to support host-fair bandwidth allocation in networks with very low aggregate backhaul bandwidth (<500k) and on hosts where fq_cake is not yet available. It is loosely adapted from Wondershaper's (https://github.com/magnific0/wondershaper) simple CLI and with much technical inspiration from the Bufferbloat Project's (https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/) excellent work. It has not been optimized for high throughput networks. If you find yourself operating at throughputs consistently higher than 1Mbps, you should strongly consdier fq_codel or fq_cake, which are much more general, flexible, and optimized.

This script as written assumes a local area /24 network, and creates 256 host specific queues keyed on the last octet of the IP address. If you're reading this and running a different size network, you should probably modify to meet your network specific conditions.

This code has no warranty to the greatest extent of the law, implied or otherwise. Use at your own risk.
