WRED Queue 
This window is used to display and configure the WRED queue settings. WRED drops packets, based on the average 
queue size exceeding a specific threshold, to indicate congestion. Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) is an 
extension to WRED in that ECN marks packets instead of dropping them when the average queue size exceeds a 
specific threshold value. When configuring the WRED ECN feature, routers and end hosts would use this marking as 
a signal that the network is congested and slow down sending packets.
