    - Token Bucket Algorithm allows varying output rates.

    - This is useful when larger burst of traffic arrive.

    - Token bucket is an algorithm used in packet switched computer networks and telecommunication network.

    - A token bucket is used to manage the queue regulator that controls the rate of packet flow into the network.

    - It can be used to check the data transmission in the form of packets.

    - It can also be used as a scheduling algorithm to determine the timing of transmissions.
