probability. When the average queue size exceeds the upper threshold, subsequent packets are
dropped.
• Drop precedence—A parameter used for packet drop. The value 0 corresponds to green packets,
the value 1 corresponds to yellow packets, and the value 2 corresponds to red packets. Red packets
are dropped preferentially.
• Exponent for average queue size calculation—The greater the exponent, the less sensitive the
average queue size is to real-time queue size changes. The formula for calculating the average
queue size: average queue size = ( previous average queue size x (1 – 2
–n
) ) + (current queue size
x 2
–n
), where n is the exponent.
• Denominator for drop probability calculation—The greater the denominator, the smaller the
calculated drop probability.

Configuration example
Network requirements
• Enable IP precedence-based WRED on interface Ethernet 1/1.
• Set the following parameters for packets with IP precedence 3: lower threshold 20, upper threshold
40, and drop probability denominator 15.
• Set the exponent for average queue size calculation to 6.
