Description

This command defines the packet thresholds based on the discard class value of a packet.

class-value

The discard class value, from 0 to 7.

min-threshold

The minimum threshold in number of packets, from 1 to 4,096. If the minimum threshold is reached, WRED randomly drops some packets with the specified IP precedence.

max-threshold

The maximum threshold in number of packets, from 1 to 4,096. When the threshold is reached, WRED drops all packets with the specified IP precedence.

mark-denominator

Denominator for the fraction of packets dropped when the average queue depth is at the maximum threshold. The default is 10, which means that 1 out of every 10 packets is dropped at the maximum threshold.
