Patent attributes
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and traffic management computing device that allocates a subset of tokens to active subscribers based on an estimated number of subscribers that will be active in a next sampling period. A request to transmit a first packet is received from one of the active subscribers. A determination is made when a current time is prior to an expiration of the allocated subset of the tokens. Another determination is made when a length of the first packet is less than a size corresponding to an available portion of the allocated subset of the tokens when the current time is determined to be prior to the expiration of the allocated subset of the tokens. The first packet is transmitted when the length of the first packet is determined to be less than a size corresponding to an available portion of the allocated subset of the tokens.
