1 1 vote Assume the following configuration:- Bucket capacity = 1Mbps O/p Rate:- 8 Mbps Token rate:- 6 Mbps Now by using C+PS=MS formulae i can see that the burst of .5 can be handled by this. But can some one show me mathematically what will happen if a burst of 1 sec will come?

B.T means burst time. B.T= c/(8-6), where 'c' is stored tokens in token bucket at some instant., now c <=1MB (max capacity of bucket) therfore, B.T <= 1/(8-6) B.T <=0.5 1 1 replyShare skyby commented Jan 20, 2018 i edited by skyby Jan 20, 2018 reply Follow flag sir can you explain some more concept of token bucket to solve numerical like using this, can you compute the number of bits transmitted before the flow depeletes its token 0 0 replyShare G Phalkey commented Nov 27, 2018 reply Follow flag Let me explain according to question bucket capacity is 1Mbps and we want a output rate of 8 Mbps and token rate(at which token is to be place in bucket) is 6 Mbps.we have the formula Capacity+Token rate=Output rate for maximum data transfered to another network 1+6t=8t this t wil give u how long u can send 8 Mbps.and u are asking for burst time for 1 sec just put t=1(1+6!=8) means for 1 sec it cannot send data at 8Mbps whereas if u put t=0.5 (1+6*0.5=8*0.5) (1+3==4) can send 8 Mbps for 0.5 sec max. I hope it will help u ): 0 0 replyShare Please log in or register to add a comment.
