Usage Parameter Control: There's a Hole in My Bucket
Jonathan M. Pitts, John Schormans · 2001
The essential importance of protecting the network is explained, and its consequences discussed. Methods for controlling ingress source cell rate are discussed, including the mean and peak cell rates. The Leaky Bucket (LB) UPC is fully explained and defining formulae developed and discussed in detail. Application of the LB to peak and mean cell rates are explained, including the problem of tolerances. Dual Leaky Buckets are introduced, including the resources required for a worst case LB output.
