Module ratelimit_meter::algorithms
source · Structs
Implements the virtual scheduling description of the Generic Cell
Rate Algorithm, attributed to ITU-T in recommendation I.371
Traffic control and congestion control in B-ISDN; from
Wikipedia.
Implements the industry-standard leaky bucket rate-limiting
as-a-meter. The bucket keeps a “fill height”, pretending to drip
steadily (which reduces the fill height), and increases the fill
height with every cell that is found conforming. If cells would
make the bucket overflow, they count as non-conforming.
