    A leaky bucket is an algorithm used in packet switched computer networks and telecommunications networks.

    Leaky Bucket Algorithm :

          - A FIFO queue is used for holding the packets.

          - It is the algorithm used to control congestion in network traffic.

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

          - It is the algorithm used to control congestion in network traffic.

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

          - A version of the leaky bucket is the Generic Cell Rate Algorithm which is recommended for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).
