Chapter 11 Managing Packet Queue Congestion
Controlling Congestion Using Weighted Random Early Detection
On the PRE3, the number of WRED profiles supported per policy map depends on the number of
interfaces with attached service policies:
• When less than 32,000 interfaces have service policies, the PRE3 supports 21 non-default WRED
profiles and 16 default profiles per policy map. The 16 default profiles includes profiles for the
class-default queue, net-control, and two priority queues. However, you cannot configure the default
profiles for net-control and priority queues. Therefore, the PRE3 allows default profiles for 12
non-default (user) queues and one class-default queue per policy map.
• When 32,000 to 64,000 interfaces have service policies, the PRE3 supports any combination of
non-default WRED and default profiles. The maximum total number of profiles (non-default and
default) supported in a policy map is 21.
• When less than 32,000 interfaces have service policies, the PRE3 supports up to 21 non-default
WRED profiles and up to 16 default profiles per policy map. The 16 default profiles include the
class-default, net-control, and two priority queues. However, the default profiles for net-control and
priority queues are not user-configurable; therefore the actual number of default profiles for
user-configured queues is 12 with one class-default class per policy map.
Table 11-6 summarizes the WRED profiles supported by various PREs.
