What are the limitations of leaky bucket algorithm?
Answers
The leaky bucket algorithm enforces a rigid output pattern at the average rate, no matter how bursty the traffic is . Figure: (a) A leaky bucket with water . (b) A leaky bucket with packets . The biggest disadvantage of leaky bucket is that its output pattern cannot be modified

Explanation:
Token bucket : it is the token dependent algorithm and waste the token in case of bucket is full in such a way that the packet are kept unharm. In the token bucket if the number of packets are quite enough only then packets are allowed to transfer. It also send the burst along with the saving of token.
Leaky Bucket: it does not dependent on the token but in this bucket the whole packets are discarded whenever there is bucket is full. Also, it ensure the packets transmission on the continuous pattern.
