About this document

Leaky Bucket Algorithm Explained by Hitesh Mohapatra is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes two algorithms for regulating network traffic: the leaky bucket algorithm and the token bucket algorithm. The leaky bucket algorithm works like a bucket with a small hole that leaks water at a constant rate. For network traffic, packets are placed in the bucket and transmitted at a constant rate, converting bursty traffic to uniform traffic. The token bucket algorithm places tokens in the bucket at regular intervals, and packets can only be transmitted when a token is consumed. T
