Description: # Token bucket
        
        A simple rate limiting algorithm. See
        [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_bucket) for a more lengthy
        discussion of how it works and where it is applicable. In essence, it is a
        constant rate limiting with temporal pooling. This allows for bursts of
        activity.
        
        ## Memcached sharing
        
        Enables sharing across different processes and servers, useful for rate
        limiting a shared resource (like a Web API.)
