WRED

Weighted Random Early Detection. RED uses an algorithm to randomly discard packets.The result of

 

the drop is that the source detects the dropped traffic and slows its transmission. WRED combines the

 

capabilities of the RED algorithm with IP precedence. This combination provides for preferential

 

traffic handling for higher-priority packets. It can selectively discard lower-priority traffic when the

 

interface starts to get congested and provide differentiated performance characteristics for different

 

classes of service.
