"Bursty" anything, without negotiation of graduated/ stepped up/down link management, must not be permitted in the first instance.
Except of course, where bursty is high bandwidth, low priority traffic which can be buffered and used effectively as a form of chaff fill when higher prio traffic is satisfied. By making such streams a first class citizen (design wise - e.g. low risk torrents), we may find that chaff/wheat ratio ultimately gets really low (i.e., very efficient overall network b/w utilization).
