Weighted Random Early Detection - Functional Description

Functional Description

WRED proceeds in this order when a packet arrives:

  • Calculation of the average queue size.
  • The arriving packet is queued only if the average queue size is below the minimum queue threshold.
  • Depending on the packet drop probability the packet is either dropped or queued if the average queue size is between the minimum and maximum queue threshold.
  • The packet is automatically dropped if the average queue size is greater than the maximum threshold.

    As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
