Users Guide

• If the transmission endpoints are ECN-capable and trac is congested, and the WRED algorithm
determines that the packet should have been dropped based on the drop probability, the packet is
transmitted and marked so the routers know the system is congested and can slow transmission rates.
• If neither endpoint is ECN-capable, the packet may be dropped based on the WRED drop probability.
This behavior is the identical treatment that a packet receives when WRED is enabled without ECN
congured on the router.
When you enable wred ecn, and the number of packets in the queue is above the maximum threshold,
packets are dropped based on the drop probability. This behavior is the identical treatment a packet receives
when WRED is enabled without ECN congured on the router.

Parameters
wred-prole-name
Enter your WRED prole name in character format (32 character maximum). Or
use one of the pre-dened WRED prole names. You can congure up to 26 WRED
proles plus the ve pre-dened proles, for a total of 31 WRED proles.
Pre-dened Proles: wred_drop, wred-ge_y, wred_ge_g, wred_teng_y,
wred_teng_g.
Defaults The ve pre-dened WRED proles. When you congure a new prole, the minimum and maximum
threshold defaults to predened wred_ge_g values.
If green prole is applied, default yellow also take eect and vice-versa.
