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.

    Alfred Gingold, U.S. humorist. Items From Our Catalogue, “Baby,” Avon Books (1982)

    I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
