Weighted random early detection
Weighted random early detection (WRED) is a queue management algorithm with congestion avoidance capabilities. It is an extension to Random early detection (RED) where different queues may have different buffer occupation thresholds before random dropping starts, as well as different dropping probabilities, and packets are classified into these queues according to priority information such as IP precedence or DSCP (for DiffServ).
