free list threshold
A free list threshold is a specific number of blocks used in the determination of the congestion state of the free list. A free list can define several thresholds. As the free list size crosses each threshold, the free list enters a more severe congestion state. For example, ATM FPs define three free list thresholds. The free list at its maximum size starts off in congestion state 3; and as it is depleted and falls below the first threshold, it enters congestion state 2.
