From 37e3645ad3974db6008c212edf68c7f9da1bedc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alberto Garcia Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2016 13:54:48 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] docs: Fix description of the leaky bucket algorithm in throttle.txt Commit 0bab0ebb17759c926bd48fd396bd8cbb2c8e4a3e was supposed to fix a mistake in the description of the leaky bucket algorithm, but the version that finally landed after the review process was incorrect. This patch solves that problem and hopefully clarifies the description a bit better.

In this case the bucket size is 100. The bucket is initially empty, therefore water can be added until it's full at a rate of 2000 IOPS (the burst rate). Once the bucket is full
