Weighted Random Early Detection
You can set a queuing technique on a device's interface to manage how packets are handled when an
interface starts to become congested. The queuing technique available for congestion avoidance is called
weighted random early detection (WRED). WRED is IP precedence and differentiated services code
point (DSCP) value aware.
WRED allows the interface to start dropping packets from selected flows when traffic begins to exceed
the interface's traffic thresholds, but before congestion occurs. If the dropped packets are TCP packets,
the TCP source recognizes that packets are being dropped, and then lowers its transmission rate. The
lowered transmission rate reduces the traffic to the interface, thus avoiding congestion. Because TCP
retransmits dropped packets, no actual data loss occurs.
WRED parameters cannot be configured on a physical ATM interface or the VC-bundle level. You must
Note
create one or more WRED parameter groups and then attach the parameter group to each PVC. By using
this method, you can apply the same WRED settings to multiple PVCs without needing to configure each
PVC and maximum packet limit. The bandwidth assigned to a class is the guaranteed bandwidth
delivered to the class during congestion.
