        A counter.

        It determines the maximum short term burst of data.

        In the UK, domestic plumbing systems normally have a header
        tank with a float valve on the inlet. The bucket size is the
        water in the tank when the float valve closes and the restore
        value is the flow rate of water from the mains.

        If you don't have header tanks in Australia, a float valve is
        like the valve in a WC cistern.
