Configuring Queue-based WRED
Context
LAN-side subcards do not support WRED.
A drop profile defines WRED parameters. You can bind the drop profile to a queue profile and apply the queue profile to the interface to implement congestion avoidance for queues bound to the drop profile.
- The value of an IP precedence ranges from 0 to 7.
- The value of a DSCP priority ranges from 0 to 63.
- Eight DSCP priorities correspond to one IP priority. For example, DSCP priorities 0 to 7 correspond to IP precedence 0, and DSCP priorities 8 to 15 correspond to IP precedence 1.
Drop profiles can be bound to only queues using WFQ on WAN-side interfaces and Layer 2 VE interfaces of the device.
The AR1200 series, AR2200 series, AR3200, and AR3600 series search the drop profile for the DSCP priority mapping the EXP priority multiplied by eight and discards the MPLS packets based on the drop profile. For example, if the EXP priority of packets is 2, the device searches a drop profile for DSCP 16 and discards packets based on the drop profile.
