An integrated circuit monitors the most active traffic flow rates on a communications network by using a leaky bucket model having a variable fill rate. As a switch receives packets, the packet identifications are sampled. A sampled packet identification is compared to record identifications in a table...http://www.google.fr/patents/US6567379?utm_source=gb-gplus-shareBrevet US6567379 - Traffic monitor using leaky bucket with variable fill
