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
provide s 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
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 onl
necessary.
For information on using Traffic Shaper, see Using Traffic Shaper on
page 151.
