## What it is
Augmented Traffic Control (ATC) is a tool for simulating network conditions such as bandwidth, latency, packet loss, and packet reordering, so developers can test apps under impaired networks. It consists of a traffic-shaping daemon with a Thrift API, a Django REST API, and a web UI, running on a gateway device that routes traffic.

## Use cases
- simulate slow or lossy mobile networks for app testing
- shape bandwidth and latency on a wifi gateway
- test how an app behaves under packet loss
- emulate impaired network conditions for devices
- save and reuse network shaping profiles

## When to choose
- you need to test mobile or IoT apps against degraded network conditions
- you want a web UI any device can use to shape its own traffic
- you can run a Linux gateway that routes device traffic

## When to avoid
- you need Python 3 or modern Django support
- you want an actively maintained project (archived, last release 2018)
- you cannot route traffic through a gateway device
