Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing shell entry points and how the project applies Linux network throttling. Read the linked Stack Overflow example for ipfw commands on FreeBSD and Mac OS X, then determine the platform-specific behavior needed. Done means the tool can apply its supported slowdown modes on BSD-style systems without regressing Linux behavior.
