The tc command is great except for the weird command structure. I really like the comcast tool as a wrapper for tc: https://github.com/tylertreat/comcast

It makes it much easier to do throttle the way you want.

The comcast wrapper is very easy to use because its capabilities are so limited that it is essentially useless. It can accomplish some throttling, but it cannot produce a usefully accurate simulation of a Comcast connection or any other commonly congested bottleneck.

tc is complicated because it does more things.
