By design, all the balls go in one end of the GBC, and come out the

What about a 'splitter' with two outputs (nominally 0.5 bps/output) and a
'joiner' for combining the two streams later on?

(...) I don't think it's a question of being offensive. It's simply a question of how it would work. The "Leaky Bucket" analogy only works if all modules can handle the same average throughput over an extended period of time. Otherwise, the "bucket" (...)
