Discards packets for which no tokens are available (no concept of queue) 3. Application: Traffic shaping or traffic policing. Token bucket: Params: rate, burstiness. 1. Token bucket smooths traffic too but permits burstiness - which is equivalent to the number of tokens accumulated in the bucket. 2. Discards tokens when bucket is full, but never discards packets (infinite queue). 3. Application: Network traffic shaping or rate limiting.
