 #### TelemetryBuffer
 
-The telemetry buffer on the backend must follow the common [telemetry buffer requirements](/sdk/foundations/processing/telemetry-processor/#telemetry-buffer). Here are the additional requirements for the backend-specific implementation:
+Unlike the [push-based approach](/sdk/foundations/processing/telemetry-processor/#push-based-approach), the telemetry buffer does not push data to the telemetry scheduler. Instead, the [telemetry scheduler](#telemetryscheduler) iterates through all buffers using weighted round-robin and pulls data when it determines a buffer is ready to flush. Still, the telemetry buffer **MUST** follow the common [telemetry buffer requirements](/sdk/foundations/processing/telemetry-processor/#telemetry-buffer). Here are the additional backend-specific requirements:
 
 1. The telemetry buffer **SHOULD** drop older items as the overflow policy. It **MAY** also drop newer items to preserve what's already buffered.

+## Push-Based Approach

+SDKs **SHOULD** use the push-based approach, where the telemetry buffers push data to the telemetry scheduler when full or on timeout. For high-throughput scenarios, SDKs **MAY** use a [pull-based alternative](./backend-telemetry-processor/) optimized for backends, where the scheduler pulls items from the buffers.
