Pretty close. The BE bucket won't ever exceed 64,000 bits though because
you defined it to be a size of 64,000 bits -- no more, no less. That
doesn't change. If a packet comes in, and the BC bucket is EMPTY (no tokens
left -- you've used them all) and the BE bucket is EMPTY (no tokens left
because you used them all) it will drop the packet
