Wtf does this do

Linux-NetSpeed is a tool that helps speed up network connections on Linux servers. If you've ever felt your server's internet was sluggish, this project bundles several popular network acceleration methods into one convenient package. The tool works as a simple script you run on your server. After downloading it, you execute the script and it presents you with options to install different network optimization technologies. These methods adjust how your server handles data transmission, which can reduce latency and improve transfer speeds. This would be useful for anyone running a Linux server who wants better network performance without manually researching and configuring complex networking tweaks. For example, if you're hosting a website, running a game server, or managing a proxy, faster network speeds directly improve the experience for your users. You don't need deep networking knowledge since the script handles the installation. The README doesn't go into detail about which specific acceleration methods are included or how they differ from each other. It provides only the basic commands to get started, so you'd need to run the script to see the available options.
