wred-ecn
Use explicit congestion notification (ECN) to indicate network congestion, rather than dropping packets.

Usage
Information
When you enable wred-ecn, and the number of packets in the queue is below the minimum
threshold, packets are transmitted per the usual WRED treatment.
When you enable wred-ecn, and the number of packets in the queue is between the
minimum threshold and the maximum threshold, one of the following three scenarios can
occur:
• If the transmission endpoints are ECN-capable and traffic is congested, and the WRED
algorithm determines that the packet should have been dropped based on the drop
probability, the packet is transmitted and marked so the routers know the system is
congested and can slow transmission rates.
• If neither endpoint is ECN-capable, the packet may be dropped based on the WRED
drop probability. This is the identical treatment that a packet receives when WRED is
enabled without ECN configured on the router.
