In a high-throughput, low-latency system, you need to implement a rate limiter to prevent abuse and ensure fair resource allocation. Discuss different rate limiting algorithms, such as leaky bucket, token bucket, and fixed window counters. Compare their advantages and disadvantages in terms of burst handling, accuracy, and implementation complexity. How does the choice of algorithm impact system performance and user experience under varying traffic patterns?
