The leaky bucket algorithm can be used to send packets at a constant rate that is equivalent to the size of the hole in the bucket.
Key Takeaway : The leaky-bucket mechanism is used to control the rate at which traffic is sent to the network. A leaky bucket provides a mechanism by which burst traffic can be shaped to present a steady stream of traffic to the network, as opposed to traffic with erratic bursts of low-volume and high-volume flows. Token bucket is a common algorithm used to control the amount of data that is injected into a network, allowing for bursts of data to be sent.
