Specifying Algorithms

The rate limiting algorithm is specified by the using parameter. The supported algorithms are as follows:

• Fixed Window : RateLimiterType.FIXED_WINDOW.value

• Sliding Window: RateLimiterType.SLIDING_WINDOW.value

• Token Bucket: RateLimiterType.TOKEN_BUCKET.value

• Leaky Bucket: RateLimiterType.LEAKING_BUCKET.value

• Generic Cell Rate Algorithm, GCRA: RateLimiterType.GCRA.value
