Configuring Modular QoS Congestion Avoidance on Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers
Restrictions
The following features are not supported by WRED for IPv4 multicast egress QoS traffic:
•
•
•
•
Tail Drop and the FIFO Queue
Tail drop is a congestion avoidance technique that drops packets when an output queue is full until
congestion is eliminated. Tail drop treats all traffic flow equally and does not differentiate between
classes of service. It manages the packets that are unclassified, placed into a first-in, first-out (FIFO)
queue, and forwarded at a rate determined by the available underlying link bandwidth.

This section contains instructions for the following tasks:
•

•
Configuring Non-weighted Random Early Detection
You can configure non-weighted Random Early Detection (RED) by not specifying IP precedence or any
other match criteria. In this way, a single RED profile is applied to all packets matching the class.
This configuration task is similar to that used for WRED except that the random-detect precedence
command is not configured and the random-detect [default] command must be used to enable RED.
Restrictions
When configuring the random-detect dscp command, you must configure one of the following
commands: shape average, bandwidth, and bandwidth remaining.
