Subject: [Diffserv-interest] How to dimension a Token Bucket?

Hello,
I'm making the following experiment:
Sending a video session (with Cisco IP/TV video server) marked as EF.
The average speed of video transmission is about 1.5Mbps, but there are some traffic bursts.
The TB of the edge router (ingress) should mark conformant packets as EF and should drop exceeded packets.
I would like to know how to dimension the TB to get less than 0.1% packets lost and then obtain a good video quality for EF traffic.
Does anybody knows if there's any formula (similar to ATM Leaky bucket) to dimension correctly both parameters of the Token Bucket to obtain less than 0.1% losses?

Thanks you.
