configured minimum threshold. The early drop ensures that only some of TCP sources slow down, which avoids global TCP re-synchronization. ● Weighted random early detection (WRED)-This allows different drop-probabilities and thresholds for each color - red, yellow, green - of traffic. You can configure the drop characteristics for three different flows by assigning the colors to the flow. Assign colors to a particular flow or traffic using various methods, such as ingress policing, qos input policy-maps, and so on. ● Explicit congestion notification (ECN)-This is an extension of WRED. Instead of dropping the packets when the average queue length crosses the minimum threshold values, ECN marks the Congestion Experienced (CE) bit of the ECN field in a packet as ECN-capable traffic (ECT). 1. Configure a WRED profile in CONFIGURATION mode. OS10(config)# wred example-wred-prof 2. Configure WRED threshold parameters for different colors in WRED CONFIGURATION mode. OS10(config-wred)# random-detect color yellow minimum-threshold 100 maximum-threshold 300 drop-probability 40 3. Configure the exponential weight value for the WRED profile in WRED CONFIGURATION mode. OS10(config-wred)# random-detect weight 4 4. Enable ECN. OS10(config-wred)# random-detect ecn 5. Enable WRED/ECN on a queue. OS10(config)# class-map type queuing example-cmap-wred OS10(config-cmap-queuing)# match queue 2 OS10(config-cmap-queuing)# exit OS10(config)# policy-map type queuing example-pmap-wred OS10(config-pmap-queuing)# class example-cmap-wred OS10(config-pmap-c-que)# random-detect example-wred-prof 6. Enable WRED/ECN on a port. OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1 OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# random-detect example-wred-prof 7. Enable WRED/ECN on a service-pool. OS10(config)# system qos OS10(config-sys-qos)# random-detect pool 0 example-wred-prof NOTE: On the S4200-ON Series platform, enable ECN globally only. Also, apply ECN configurations only at the queue level. You cannot configure ECN at the interface or service-pool levels. If you try to apply the ECN configuration at the interface or service-pool levels, the configuration is not accepted. To enable ECN globally: 1. Configure a WRED profile in CONFIGURATION mode. OS10(config)# wred example-wred-prof-1 2. Configure WRED threshold parameters for different colors in WRED CONFIGURATION mode. OS10(config-wred)# random-detect color yellow minimum-threshold 100 maximum-threshold 300 drop-probability 40 3. Configure the exponential weight value for the WRED profile in WRED CONFIGURATION mode. OS10(config-wred)# random-detect weight 4 4. Configure the ECN threshold parameters in WRED CONFIGURATION mode. OS10(config-wred)#random-detect ecn minimum-threshold 100 maximum-threshold 300 dropprobability 40 1338 Quality of service
