Service Manual
Usage Information To assign drop precedence to green or yellow trac, use this command. If there is no honoring enabled on
the input, all the trac defaults to green drop precedence.

Usage Information
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 two scenarios can occur:
• If the transmission endpoints are ECN-capable and trac 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
congured 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 congured on the router.
