The term "shaper" is often used in networking to describe a device or software that performs traffic shaping. Traffic shaping is a bandwidth management technique used on computer networks which delays some packets to conform to a desired traffic profile. It is used to optimize or guarantee performance, improve latency, or increase bandwidth for some kinds of packets by delaying other kinds. It's commonly used to control bandwidth usage, prioritize traffic, and prevent network congestion.
