There're two parameters that control the bucket, one is the capacity and the
other is the speed. The capacity controls the maximum amount of tokens in a
bucket and the speed defines how many tokens are added per second.

When the capacity is set smaller than the size of keyframe, no video is
sent. So we'd better set the capacity large enough. While the small value of
speed is not a problem, because as long as the speed is positive, the tokens
in bucket always increment and should surpass the keyframe size one day.
