Shaperprobe

ShaperProbe detects whether your ISP performs traffic shaping. Traffic shaping means that your ISP automatically drops your access rate after you have downloaded or uploaded a certain number of bytes. ShaperProbe detects whether traffic shaping is used in either the upload or download directions, and in that case that it is used, ShaperProbe reports the shaping rate and the maximum burst size before shaping begins.
