Description:	The WRR scheduler is an extension to the Traffic Control/network
		bandwidth management part of the Linux 2.2 and 2.4 kernels. 
                The scheduler was developed to support distributing bandwidth 
		on a shared Internet connection fairly between local machines.
                
                Further comments:
		
                  * As a default all local machines will get equally much 
                    of the bandwidth if they have sufficient demand. This
		    is obtained by doing so-called weighted round robin (wrr)
		    scheduling.
                  * It is possible to give machines transferring much data 
                    over a long or short period of time less bandwidth.
                  * It can work on a bridge, a router or on a firewall.
                  * Supports accounting locally generated masqgraded packets 
		    to the correct local machine.
                  * On the WRR home page an extension is available which 
		    includes patches for Squid and the Nec socks5 proxy servers
		    so that proxied packets can also be accounted to the 
		    correct local machine.
                  * Includes a configuration file based set of scripts that 
		    will setup everything without changing your basic network 
		    setup. The scripts will allow you to shape both incoming 
		    and outgoing traffic.
