Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description given in the question matches the behavior of a token bucket algorithm. In a token bucket, tokens are added to the bucket at a constant rate and when data arrives, it is only allowed to pass if it can be associated with a token in the bucket. The bucket can hold a fixed number of tokens, which is its capacity, and if the bucket overflows, excess tokens or packets are dropped.
