Example

• 2 tokens of size 100 bytes added to bucket of capacity 500 each second

  • avg rate=200 bytes/s, largest burst size is 500 bytes, peak rate is unbounded (500 bytes can be transmitted arbitrarily fast)
  • can never send packets bigger than 500 bytes
  • if a 400 byte packet arrives when bucket contains 200 bytes of tokens, will have to wait between just over 0.5 and 1 sec to send
