3.2.1.1.2 Discard Probability of Classified Traffic
Once the traffic is mapped against a forwarding class, the discard probability for the 
traffic can be configured as high or low priority at ingress. Once the traffic is further 
classified as high or low priority, different congestion management schemes could 
be applied based on this priority. For example WRED curves can then be run against 
the high- and low-priority traffic separately, as described in Slope Policies (WRED 
and RED).
