SIERRA PAEZ, Gina Katherín  and  GUEVARA AMAYA, Judy Carolina. Traffic management algorithms: Leaky Bucket, Token Bucket and Virtual Scheduling. Tecnura [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.29, pp.76-89. ISSN 0123-921X.

This paper presents the three main algorithms used for congestion control in communication networks: Leaky Bucket, Token Bucket and Virtual Scheduling. Its aim is to avoid traffic reaches unacceptable levels of congestion. It also offers some of the modifications made to these algorithms and their main applications.

Keywords : Congestion control; Leaky Bucket; Token Bucket; Virtual Scheduling.
