Question

Difference between Leaky bucket and  Token bucket algorithm?

Answer 1

Leaky Bucket	Token Bucket
When the host has to send a packet, the packet is thrown in a bucket.	This leaky bucket holds tokens generated at regular intervals of time.
Bucket leaks at a constant rate	The bucket has a maximum capacity.
Bursty traffic is converted into uniform traffic by leaky buckets.	Bucket there is a ready packet, a token is removed from the bucket and the packet is sent.
In practice, a bucket is a finite queue output at a finite rate.	If there is no token in the bucket, the packet can not be sent.
