network driver that optimises data through

Asked by roxanne

Greetings for everybody.
When I yet Windows was useful, there was a program what helped with the traffic control of the internet. I received it now an advertisement letter that the newest version appeared. I would like to discover that this advanced application like this is in Ubuntu containers? From the program exact description here legible:

cFosSpeed is a network driver that optimises data transfer through
Traffic Shaping. This technology allows cFosSpeed to minimise ping
times while ensuring maximum data throughput and Voice-over-IP quality.
For more information see http://www.cfos.com/techinfo/shape_e.htm

The most important features about this version are:

-.-.-.-.-.-

 * Decisive Traffic Shaping improvements:

  cFosSpeed Traffic Shaping now also optimizes mobile connections.
  UMTS, WCDMA, CDMA 2000, etc. have highly varying ping times.
  Under normal conditions this can lead to high latency and/or
  low throughput rates. Therefore cFosSpeed determines the "normal"
  ping time and its statistical deviation. These additional statistics
  are used for the speed regulation in Traffic Shaping, so that
  the transfer rate will remain high, even if ping times are higher
  for a short time. This gets the maximum out of mobile connections.

  For fixed-line connections, like DSL and cable, cFosSpeed uses
  these statistics for sharper limits of the allowed ping time
  and can therefore reduce the latency by ca. 20 msec. The effect
  particularly shows with today's fast Internet connections, for
  example with games, VoIP and today's Web 2.0 pages with their
  frequent and small HTTP packets (interactive traffic).

  By improving the ping engine cFosSpeed can now be used with
  connections which already employ other prioritization techniques,
  such as ACK- and ping-prioritizing routers. The benefit is
  a drastically reduced latency, as well as cFosSpeed's unique
  RX-shaping and protocol-prioritization. Without these functions
  a single data stream can congest the connection and impair
  the quality of other applications.

  The TCP window auto-tuning used in Windows Vista and Windows 7
  accelerates the regulation of RX-shaping, because the
  initial TCP windows size has far lower (more realistic) values
  and therefore does not need to be corrected so heavily. A luxury
  only available when you already have nice, low latency.

 * The new status windows now illustrate how cFosSpeed Traffic
  Shaping works. The "ping variance" display informs you about
  the current ping time variation and the reliability of the
  statistical data. These statistics will be re-evaluated every
  few minutes, as for mobile connection these values can change
  quickly during movement (travelling) or by changing
  utilization of radio cells.

  The "Traffic Shaping Indicator" notifies you whenever cFosSpeed
  re-orders packets (which is one of the most important actions of
  Traffic Shaping). "Small blip - big change". The ping time is
  another indicator by which you can verify that the reaction
  time is nice and low even when your connection is heavily used.

  In addition the configurable real-time analysis shows which
  protocols and programs currently use which amount of bandwidth.

 * Further Traffic Shaping optimizations:

  Net Talk is a new feature, which allows you to use Traffic
  Shaping with several PCs in a LAN. With Net Talk all PCs
  inform each other about their respective send and receive
  statistics and use this information to control Traffic
  Shaping far more precisely. With simultaneous use of
  the ping variance statistics, it can help to detect rising
  ping times quickly and then counter it.

  Based on the shared statistics Traffic Shaping works more
  accurately, since every member of the LAN knows about the traffic
  of all others.

  The priority queues have been optimized (reduced) with regard
  to Compound TCP, now used in Windows Vista and Windows 7.
  Compound TCP is designed to detect early congestion and then
  reduce the send speed. Now cFosSpeed and Compound TCP work
  hand in hand: Compound TCP ensures a fast maximum sending
  speed while cFosSpeed meanwhile keeps the latency low.

 * New NDIS 6 driver:

  cFosSpeed now contains a NDIS 6 driver for Vista. It automatically
  switches to NDIS 6.20 for Windows 7 and supports all the
  "speed-features" available in Microsoft's new network architecture,
  like dispatch-level tracking, data copy avoidance, early packet
  classification, etc. These features reduce the CPU load caused
  by network activity.

  The new NDIS 6.20 driver also supports the Windows 7
  Mobile Broadband Platform, the new driver architecture for
  mobile connection sticks.

 * WLAN: Our tests have shown that with only moderate signal
  strength not only the transfer rate can by degrade 10% or more, but
  also the ping time begins to vary more than 50 msec, depending on
  WLAN utilisation. In this case cFosSpeed's new ping variance
  detection also helps to keep transfer speeds and pings in comfortable
  ranges.

 * The new "Adapter Info" dialog makes all important parameters
  of the network adapters visible, especially for WLAN and WWAN
  (Mobile Broadband). For WLAN cFosSpeed also produces a channel
  recommendation. cFosSpeed calculates it by the number and signal
  strength of other WLAN access points in the vicinity and then
  selects the channel with the currently lowest frequency utilisation.
  You can use this as a hint to switch your WLAN access point to
  this channel, minimizing the risk of packet collisions.

 * New dialogs for the configurable TX limits for individual
  programs and protocols.

 * The new DivX webplayer as well as Teredo for IPv6 tunneling
  (for example used by Bittorrent) are now detected by cFosSpeed's
  layer-7 analysis and prioritized accordingly.

 * Support for the Microsoft's security functions
  Data Execution Prevention (DEP) und Address space layout
  randomization (ASLR) for protections against attacks.

 * Tons of other improvements and bugfixes, for details see

This is so unfortunately. But I hope it for somebody manages to get to grow one like this into his reason only to Linux.
It may be that is already so. The question only it: how name that application, and his knowledge so good, other similar only?
