Abstract

This paper introduces a novel policing mechanism, called Packet Leaky Bucket in which all cells of a frame are marked with the same level of priority. Moreover, it discusses the need for having a frame discard mechanism in cell-switched networks when frame-oriented policing mechanisms are used.
