Window based versus Rate based

* In window-based resource allocation, a receiver chooses a window size. This window size is dependent on the buffer space available to the receiver.
* The receiver then sends the window size to the sender.
* In rate based resource allocation, a receiver specifies the maximum rate of bits per second it can handle.
* A sender sends traffic in compliance with the rate advertised by the receiver.

* The reservation based allocation also involves reservation in b/s.
