Applying a WRED Profile to Traffic
After you create a WRED profile, you must specify to which traffic Dell EMC Networking OS should apply the profile.
Dell EMC Networking OS assigns a color (also called drop precedence) — red, yellow, or green — to each packet based on it
DSCP value before queuing it.
DSCP is a 6–bit field. Dell EMC Networking uses the first three bits (LSB) of this field (DP) to determine the drop precedence.
● DP values of 110 and 100, 101 map to yellow; all other values map to green.
● If you do not configure Dell EMC Networking OS to honor DSCP values on ingress (refer to Honoring DSCP Values on
Ingress Packets), all traffic defaults to green drop precedence.
