Applying a WRED Profile to Traffic
After you create a WRED profile, you must specify to which traffic the system should apply the profile.
The Dell 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 Networking uses the first 3 bits of this field (DP) to determine the drop
precedence.
• DP values of 110, 100, and 101 map to yellow; all other values map to green.
• If you do not configure the system to honor DSCP values on ingress (refer to Honoring DSCP Values
on Ingress Packets), all traffic defaults to green drop precedence.
• Assign a WRED profile to either yellow or green traffic.
