Abstract :
Some monotonicity properties of the leaky bucket (LB) input rate regulation scheme are presented. It is shown that the asymptotic version of the interdeparture time decreases in the convex ordering as the size of the token pool decreases or as the token generation period increases. When measured by the coefficient of variation of the interdeparture times, the burstiness of the output traffic from the LB increases with the size of the token pool, and decreases with the token generation period. These results may prove useful in designing the LB
