Shoe size Shoe size A shoe size is an indication of the fitting size of a shoe for a person. There are a number of different shoe-size systems used worldwide. While all of them use a number to indicate the length of the shoe, they differ in exactly what they measure, what unit of measurement they use, and where the size 0 (or 1) is positioned. Some systems also indicate the shoe width, sometimes also as a number, but in many cases by one or more letters. Some regions use different shoe-size systems for different types of shoes (e.g. men's, women's, children's,
Leaky bucket A limit on burstiness may be specified as a jitter or delay variation tolerance, or as a maximum burst size (MBS). Multiple sets of contract parameters can be applied concurrently to a connection using multiple instances of the leaky bucket algorithm, each of which may take a bandwidth and a burstiness limit: see Dual Leaky Bucket Controller. The rate at which the bucket leaks will determine the bandwidth limit, which is referred to as the average rate by Turner and the inverse of which is referred to as the emission interval by the ITU-T. It is easiest to explain what
