This node performs traffic shaping using the token bucket algorithm.

Detailed Description

This node performs traffic shaping using the token bucket algorithm. It can be used to limit packet rate (max_pps), or bandwidth (max_bps). It can also be used to limit a blend of packet rate and bandwidth by setting max_bps and overhead.

Arguments

Argument	Optional?	Default	Type	Description
max_pps	Yes	-	SC_PARAM_DBL	Maximum packet rate in packets-per-second.
max_bps	Yes	-	SC_PARAM_DBL	Maximum bandwidth in bits-per-second.
overhead	Yes	0	SC_PARAM_INT	Per packet overhead in bytes (used with `max_bps`).
show_config	Yes	0	SC_PARAM_INT	When this is set to 1 the configuration is written to stderr at startup.
