[section:RatePolicy RatePolicy]
An instance of [*RatePolicy] is associated with a
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__basic_stream `basic_stream`],
and controls the rate at which bytes may be independently sent and
received. This may be used to achieve fine-grained bandwidth management
and flow control.
[heading Associated Types]
* [link beast.ref.boost__beast__rate_policy_access `rate_policy_access`]
[warning
These requirements may undergo non-backward compatible
changes in subsequent versions.

[heading Requirements]
In this table:
* `P` denotes a type that meets the requirements of [*RatePolicy].
* `x` denotes an xvalue of type `P`
* `a` denotes a value of type `P`.
* `n` denotes a value of type `std::size_t`

The member functions required in `P` should be private.
[link beast.ref.boost__beast__rate_policy_access `rate_policy_access`]
must be a friend of `P` for the implementation to gain access
to the required member functions.

[`a.available_read_bytes()`]
[`std::size_t`]
[
This function is called by the implementation to determine
the maximum number of allowed bytes to be transferred
in the next read operation. The actual number of bytes
subsequently transferred may be less than this number.
If the policy returns a value of zero, the read operation
will asynchronously wait until the next timer interval
before retrying. When the retry occurs, this function will
be called again.
]
][
[`a.available_write_bytes()`]
[`std::size_t`]
[
This function is called by the implementation to determine
the maximum number of allowed bytes to be transferred
in the next write operation. The actual number of bytes
subsequently transferred may be less than this number.
If the policy returns a value of zero, the read operation
will asynchronously wait until the next timer interval
before retrying. When the retry occurs, this function will
be called again.
]
][
[`a.transfer_read_bytes(n)`]
[]
[
The implementation calls this function to inform the
policy that `n` bytes were successfully transferred
in the most recent read operation. The policy object
may optionally use this information to calculate
throughputs and/or inform the algorithm used to
determine subsequently queried transfer maximums.
]
][
[`a.transfer_write_bytes(n)`]
[]
[
The implementation calls this function to inform the
policy that `n` bytes were successfully transferred
in the most recent write operation. The policy object
may optionally use this information to calculate
throughputs and/or inform the algorithm used to
determine subsequently queried transfer limits.
]
][
[`a.on_timer()`]
[]
[
The implementation calls this function every time the
internal timer expires. The policy object may optionally
use this opportunity to calculate elapsed time and
throughput, and/or inform the algorithm used to
determine subsequently queried transfer limits.
