Command History Usage Information Example Version 9.9(0.0) 9.2.1.0 9.3.0.0 Description Introduced on the C9010. Introduced on the Z9500 switch. Introduced on the S6000 and Z9000 platforms If the average queue size is more than the maximum threshold of WRED, the packet is dropped. If the average queue size is between the minimum and maximum threshold values, the decision to drop or queue the packet is taken based on the packet drop probability. The probability that a packet is dropped depends on the minimum threshold, maximum threshold, and mark probability denominator. Dell(conf-qos-policy-out)# wred weight 5 wred ecn To indicate network congestion without dropping packets, use explicit congestion notification (ECN). C9000 Series Syntax wred ecn To stop marking packets, use the no wred ecn command. Defaults none Command Modes QOS-POLICY-OUT mode Command History This guide is platform-specific.

Usage Information Related Commands When you enable wred ecn, and the number of packets in the queue is below the minimum threshold, packets are transmitted per the usual WRED treatment. When you enable wred ecn, and the number of packets in the queue is between the minimum threshold and the maximum threshold, one of the following scenarios can occur: ● If the transmission endpoints are ECN-capable and traffic 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 configured 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 configured on the router. wred-profile - creates a WRED profile and name that profile.
