Usage Guidelines
When the switch detects that traffic is filling up any of the eight hardware queues, it performs a random
discard on subsequent packets, based on the configured RED drop probability. The destination node
detects the dropped packet and, using standard TCP windowing mechanisms, slows the transmission
from the source node. RED drop probability is configured on a system-wide basis.
The percentage range is 0 - 100%.
Example
The following command configures the RED drop-probability as 80%:
configure red drop-probability 80
