      NRS (Network Request Scheduler) enables the services to schedule the RPCs in different manners. And there have been a bunch of policies implemented over the main framework. Most of them are aimed at improving throughput rate or similar purposes. But we are trying to implement policies for a differnt kind of purpose, QoS.

      The TBF (Token Bucket Filter) is one of the policies that we implemented for traffic control. It enforces a RPC rate limit on every client according to the NID. The handling of a RPC will be delayed until there are enough tokens for the client. Different clients are scheduled according to their deadlines, so that none of them will be starving even though the service does not have the ability to satisfy all the RPC rate requirments of clients. The RPCs from the the same clients are queued in a FIFO manner.)

      Early tests show that the policy works to enforce the RPC rate limit. But more tests, bechmarks and analyses is needed for its correctness and efficiency.
