Counting Dropped Packets
The user can disable the drop-wred-packets-by-hardware mode. This allows the application to access
existing per-flow counters. The application can then retrieve the number of dropped packets for every
flow and provide the user with better visibility into the exact number of dropped packets and their
distribution.
Note Counting all dropped packets has a considerable effect on system performance, and therefore, by default,
the drop-wred-packets-by-hardware mode is enabled.
Disabling the Hardware Packet Drop
