Applying a WRED Profile to Traffic
After you create a WRED profile, you must specify to which traffic Dell Networking OS should apply the profile.
Dell Networking OS assigns a color (also called drop precedence) — red, yellow, or green — to each packet based on it DSCP value before
queuing it.
DSCP is a 6–bit field. Dell Networking uses the first three bits (LSB) of this field (DP) to determine the drop precedence.
•
DP values of 110 and 100, 101 map to yellow; all other values map to green.
•
If you do not configure Dell Networking OS to honor DSCP values on ingress (refer to
traffic defaults to green drop precedence.
•
Assign a WRED profile to either yellow or green traffic.
