Abstract
Methods and apparatus for burst-mode admission control using token buckets are disclosed. A work request (such as a read or a write) directed to a work target is received. Based on a first criterion, a determination is made that the work target is in a burst mode of operation. A token population of a burst-mode token bucket is determined, and if the population meets a second criterion, the work request is accepted for execution.
