Restrictions for Byte-Based WRED
•
WRED is only useful when the bulk of the traffic is TCP/IP traffic. With TCP, dropped packets indicate congestion, so the packet source will reduce its transmission rate. With other protocols, packet sources may not respond or may resend dropped packets at the same rate. Thus, dropping packets does not decrease congestion.
•
You cannot configure both packet-based WRED and byte-based WRED in the same policy.
•
You cannot configure byte-based WRED on a class in which the queue-limit is configured in milliseconds or packets.
Information About Byte-Based WRED
This feature extends the functionality of WRED. In previous releases, you specified the WRED actions based on the number of packets. With the Byte-Based WRED, you can specify WRED actions based on the number of bytes. For more information about WRED, see the following documents:

Command Reference
This section documents modified commands. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.3 command reference publications.
Modified Commands
random-detect dscp
To change the minimum and maximum packet thresholds for the differentiated services code point (DSCP) value, use the random-detect dscp command in interface configuration mode. To return the minimum and maximum packet thresholds to the default for the DSCP value, use the no form of this command.
random-detect dscp dscp-alue min-threshold max-threshold [max-probability-denominator]
no random-detect dscp dscp-value min-threshold max-threshold [max-probability-denominator]
Syntax Description
Defaults
If WRED is using the DSCP value to calculate the drop probability of a packet, all entries of the DSCP table are initialized with the default settings shown in Table 1 in the "Usage Guidelines" section of this command.
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Command History
Release Modification12.1(5)T
This command was introduced.
12.2(28)SB
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB.
Usage Guidelines
The random-detect dscp command allows you to specify the DSCP value. The DSCP value can be a number from 0 to 63, or it can be one of the following keywords: ef, af11, af12, af13, af21, af22, af23, af31, af32, af33, af41, af42, af43, cs1, cs2, cs3, cs4, cs5, or cs7.
This command must be used in conjunction with the random-detect (interface) command.
Additionally, the random-detect dscp command is available only if you specified the dscp-based argument when using the random-detect (interface) command.
Table 1 lists the default settings used by the random-detect dscp command for the DSCP value specified. Table 1 lists the DSCP value, and its corresponding minimum threshold, maximum threshold, and max probability. The last row of the table (the row labeled "default") shows the default settings used for any DSCP value not specifically shown in the table.
Examples
The following example enables WRED to use the DSCP value af22. The minimum threshold for DSCP value af22 is 28, the maximum threshold is 40, and the max probability is 10.
random-detect dscp af22 20 40 10Related Commands
random-detect precedence
To configure Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) and distributed WRED (DWRED) parameters for a particular IP Precedence, use the random-detect precedence command in interface configuration mode. To configure WRED parameters for a particular IP Precedence for a class policy in a policy map, use the random-detect precedence command in policy-map class configuration mode. To return the values to the default for the precedence, use the no form of this command.
random-detect precedence {precedence | rsvp} min-threshold max-threshold max-probability-denominator
no random-detect precedence {precedence | rsvp} min-threshold max-threshold max-probability-denominator
Syntax Description
precedence
IP Precedence number. The value range is from 0 to 7. For Cisco 7000 series routers with an RSP7000 interface processor and Cisco 7500 series routers with a VIP2-40 interface processor (VIP2-50 interface processor strongly recommended), the precedence value range is from 0 to 7 only; see Table 2 in the "Usage Guidelines" section of this command.
rsvp
Indicates Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) traffic.
min-threshold
Minimum threshold in number of packets. The value range of this argument is from 1 to 4096. When the average queue length reaches the minimum threshold, WRED randomly drops some packets with the specified IP Precedence.
max-threshold
Maximum threshold in number of packets. The value range of this argument is from the value of the min-threshold argument to 4096. When the average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold, WRED drops all packets with the specified IP Precedence.
max-probability-denominator
Denominator for the fraction of packets dropped when the average queue depth is at the maximum threshold. For example, if the denominator is 512, 1 out of every 512 packets is dropped when the average queue is at the maximum threshold. The value range is from 1 to 65536. The default is 10; 1 out of every 10 packets is dropped at the maximum threshold.
Defaults
For all precedences, the max-probability-denominator default is 10, and the max-threshold is based on the output buffering capacity and the transmission speed for the interface.
The default min-threshold depends on the precedence. The min-threshold for IP Precedence 0 corresponds to half of the max-threshold. The values for the remaining precedences fall between half the max-threshold and the max-threshold at evenly spaced intervals. See Table 2 in the "Usage Guidelines" section of this command for a list of the default minimum threshold values for each IP Precedence.

Command History
Release Modification11.1 CC
This command was introduced.
12.2(28)SB
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB.
Usage Guidelines
WRED is a congestion avoidance mechanism that slows traffic by randomly dropping packets when congestion exists. DWRED is similar to WRED but uses the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) instead of the Route Switch Processor (RSP).
When you configure the random-detect command on an interface, packets are given preferential treatment based on the IP Precedence of the packet. Use the random-detect precedence command to adjust the treatment for different precedences.
If you want WRED or DWRED to ignore the precedence when determining which packets to drop, enter this command with the same parameters for each precedence. Remember to use reasonable values for the minimum and maximum thresholds.
Note that if you use the random-detect precedence command to adjust the treatment for different precedences within class policy, you must ensure that WRED is not configured for the interface to which you attach that service policy.
Table 2 lists the default minimum threshold value for each IP Precedence.
Note
The default WRED or DWRED parameter values are based on the best available data. We recommend that you do not change the parameters from their default values unless you have determined that your applications would benefit from the changed values.
The DWRED feature is supported only on Cisco 7000 series routers with an RSP7000 card and Cisco 7500 series routers with a VIP2-40 or greater interface processor. A VIP2-50 interface processor is strongly recommended when the aggregate line rate of the port adapters on the VIP is greater than DS3. A VIP2-50 interface processor is required for OC-3 rates.
To use DWRED, distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (dCEF) switching must first be enabled on the interface. For more information on dCEF, refer to the Cisco IOS Switching Services Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS Switching Services Command Reference.
Note
The DWRED feature is not supported in a class policy.
Examples
The following example enables WRED on the interface and specifies parameters for the different IP Precedences:
interface Hssi0/0/0description 45Mbps to R1ip address 10.200.14.250 255.255.255.252random-detectrandom-detect precedence 0 32 256 100random-detect precedence 1 64 256 100random-detect precedence 2 96 256 100random-detect precedence 3 120 256 100random-detect precedence 4 140 256 100random-detect precedence 5 170 256 100random-detect precedence 6 290 256 100random-detect precedence 7 210 256 100random-detect precedence rsvp 230 256 100The following example configures policy for a class called acl10 included in a policy map called policy10. Class acl101 has these characteristics: a minimum of 2000 kbps of bandwidth are expected to be delivered to this class in the event of congestion and a weight factor of 10 is used to calculate the average queue size. For congestion avoidance, WRED packet drop is used, not tail drop. IP Precedence is reset for levels 0 through 4.

Command History
Usage Guidelines
The show policy-map interface command displays the packet statistics for classes on the specified interface or the specified PVC only if a service policy has been attached to the interface or the PVC.
You can use the interface-name argument to display output for a PVC only for enhanced ATM port adapters (PA-A3) that support per-VC queueing.
The counters displayed after the show policy-map interface command is entered are updated only if congestion is present on the interface.
The show policy-map interface command displays policy information about Frame Relay PVCs only if Frame Relay Traffic Shaping (FRTS) is enabled on the interface.
The show policy-map interface command displays ECN marking information only if ECN is enabled on the interface.
To determine if shaping is active with HQF, check the queue depth field of the "(queue depth/total drops/no-buffer drops)" line in the show policy-map interface command output.
Examples
This section provides sample output from typical show policy-map interface commands. Depending upon the interface in use and the options enabled, the output you see may vary slightly from the ones shown below.

Table 4 show policy-map interface Field Descriptions 1
Field Description Fields Associated with Classes or Service PoliciesService-policy output
Name of the output service policy applied to the specified interface or VC.
Class-map
Class of traffic being displayed. Output is displayed for each configured class in the policy. The choice for implementing class matches (for example, match-all or match-any) can also appear next to the traffic class.
packets and bytes
Number of packets (also shown in bytes) identified as belonging to the class of traffic being displayed.
offered rate
Rate, in kbps, of packets coming in to the class.
Note
If the packets are compressed over an outgoing interface, the improved packet rate achieved by packet compression is not reflected in the offered rate. Also, if the packets are classified before they enter a combination of tunnels (for example, a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel and an IP Security (IPSec) tunnel), the offered rate does not include all the extra overhead associated with tunnel encapsulation in general. Depending on the configuration, the offered rate may include no overhead, may include the overhead for only one tunnel encapsulation, or may include the overhead for all tunnel encapsulations. In most of the GRE and IPSec tunnel configurations, the offered rate includes the overhead for GRE tunnel encapsulation only.
drop rate
Rate, in kbps, at which packets are dropped from the class. The drop rate is calculated by subtracting the number of successfully transmitted packets from the offered rate.
Note
In distributed architecture platforms (such as the C7500), the value of the transfer rate, calculated as the difference between the offered rate and the drop rate counters, can sporadically deviate from the average by up to 20 percent or more. This can occur while no corresponding burst is registered by independent traffic analyser equipment.
Match
Match criteria specified for the class of traffic. Choices include criteria such as IP precedence, IP differentiated services code point (DSCP) value, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) experimental (EXP) value, access groups, and QoS groups. For more information about the variety of match criteria options available, refer to the chapter "Configuring the Modular Quality of Service Command-Line Interface" in the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide.
Fields Associated with Queueing (If Enabled)Output Queue
The weighted fair queueing (WFQ) conversation to which this class of traffic is allocated.
Bandwidth
Bandwidth, in either kbps or percentage, configured for this class and the burst size.
pkts matched/bytes matched
Number of packets (also shown in bytes) matching this class that were placed in the queue. This number reflects the total number of matching packets queued at any time. Packets matching this class are queued only when congestion exists. If packets match the class but are never queued because the network was not congested, those packets are not included in this total. However, if process switching is in use, the number of packets is always incremented even if the network is not congested.
depth/total drops/no-buffer drops
Number of packets discarded for this class. No-buffer indicates that no memory buffer exists to service the packet.
Fields Associated with Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) (If Enabled)exponential weight
Exponent used in the average queue size calculation for a WRED parameter group.
mean queue depth
Average queue depth based on the actual queue depth on the interface and the exponential weighting constant. It is a fluctuating average. The minimum and maximum thresholds are compared against this value to determine drop decisions.
class
IP precedence level.
Transmitted pkts/bytes
Number of packets (also shown in bytes) passed through WRED and not dropped by WRED.
Note
If there is insufficient memory in the buffer to accommodate the packet, the packet can be dropped after the packet passes through WRED. Packets dropped because of insufficient memory in the buffer (sometimes referred to as "no-buffer drops") are not taken into account by the WRED packet counter.
Random drop pkts/bytes
Number of packets (also shown in bytes) randomly dropped when the mean queue depth is between the minimum threshold value and the maximum threshold value for the specified IP precedence level.
Tail drop pkts/bytes
Number of packets dropped when the mean queue depth is greater than the maximum threshold value for the specified IP precedence level.
Minimum thresh
Minimum threshold. Minimum WRED threshold in number of packets.
Maximum thresh
Maximum threshold. Maximum WRED threshold in number of packets.
Mark prob
Mark probability. Fraction of packets dropped when the average queue depth is at the maximum threshold.
Fields Associated with Traffic Shaping (If Enabled)Target Rate
Rate used for shaping traffic.
Byte Limit
Maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted per interval. Calculated as follows:
((Bc+Be) /8) x 1
Sustain bits/int
Committed burst (Bc) rate.
Excess bits/int
Excess burst (Be) rate.
Interval (ms)
Time interval value in milliseconds (ms).
Increment (bytes)
Number of credits (in bytes) received in the token bucket of the traffic shaper during each time interval.
Queue Depth
Current queue depth of the traffic shaper.
Packets
Total number of packets that have entered the traffic shaper system.
Bytes
Total number of bytes that have entered the traffic shaper system.
Packets Delayed
Total number of packets delayed in the queue of the traffic shaper before being transmitted.
Bytes Delayed
Total number of bytes delayed in the queue of the traffic shaper before being transmitted.
Shaping Active
Indicates whether the traffic shaper is active. For example, if a traffic shaper is active, and the traffic being sent exceeds the traffic shaping rate, a "yes" appears in this field.
1 A number in parentheses may appear next to the service-policy output name, class-map name, and match criteria information. The number is for Cisco internal use only and can be disregarded.
Example of Precedence-Based Aggregate WRED on ATM Shared Port Adapter
The following sample output of the show policy-map interface command displays the statistics for the ATM shared port adapter interface 4/1/0.10, to which a service policy called prec-aggr-wred (configured as shown below) is attached. Because aggregate WRED has been enabled on this interface, the class through Mark Prob statistics are aggregated by subclasses. See Table 5 for an explanation of the significant fields that commonly appear in the command output.

Table 10 show policy-map interface Field Descriptions—Configured for Class-Based RTP and TCP Header Compression1
Field DescriptionService-policy output
Name of the output service policy applied to the specified interface or VC.
Class-map
Class of traffic being displayed. Output is displayed for each configured class in the policy. The choice for implementing class matches (for example, match-all or match-any) can also appear next to the traffic class.
packets, bytes
Number of packets (also shown in bytes) identified as belonging to the class of traffic being displayed.
offered rate
Rate, in kbps, of packets coming in to the class.

If the packets are compressed over an outgoing interface, the improved packet rate achieved by packet compression is not reflected in the offered rate. Also, if the packets are classified before they enter a combination of tunnels (for example, a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel and an IP Security (IPSec) tunnel), the offered rate does not include all the extra overhead associated with tunnel encapsulation in general. Depending on the configuration, the offered rate may include no overhead, may include the overhead for only one tunnel encapsulation, or may include the overhead for all tunnel encapsulations. In most of the GRE and IPSec tunnel configurations, the offered rate includes the overhead for GRE tunnel encapsulation only.

Depending on the configuration, the offered rate may include no overhead, may include the overhead for only one tunnel encapsulation, or may include the overhead for all tunnel encapsulations. In most of the GRE and IPSec tunnel configurations, the offered rate includes the overhead for GRE tunnel encapsulation only.
drop rate
Rate, in kbps, at which packets are dropped from the class. The drop rate is calculated by subtracting the number of successfully transmitted packets from the offered rate.
Note
In distributed architecture platforms (such as the C7500), the value of the tranfer rate, calculated as the difference between the offered rate and the drop rate counters, can sporadically diviate from the average by up to 20 percent or more. This can occur while no corresponding burst is registered by independent traffic analyser equipment

The CIR, PIR bc, and be are calculated on the basis of the formulas described below.
Formula for Calculating the CIR
When calculating the CIR, the following formula is used:
•
CIR percentage specified (as shown in the output from the show policy-map command) * bandwidth (BW) of the interface (as shown in the output from the show interfaces command) = total bits per second
According to the output from the show interfaces command for the serial 2/0 interface, the interface has a bandwidth (BW) of 2048 kbps.
Router # show interfaces serial2/0Serial2/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down Hardware is M4T MTU 1500 bytes, BW 2048 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255The following values are used for calculating the CIR:
20 % * 2048 kbps = 409600 bps
Formula for Calculating the PIR
When calculating the PIR, the following formula is used:

PIR percentage specified (as shown in the output from the show policy-map command) * bandwidth (BW) of the interface (as shown in the output from the show interfaces command) = total bits per second
According to the output from the show interfaces command for the serial 2/0 interface, the interface has a bandwidth (BW) of 2048 kbps.
Router # show interfaces serial2/0Serial2/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down Hardware is M4T MTU 1500 bytes, BW 2048 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255The following values are used for calculating the PIR:
40 % * 2048 kbps = 819200 bps
Note
Discrepancies between this total and the total shown in the output from the show policy-map interface command can be attributed to a rounding calculation or to differences associated with the specific interface configuration.
Formula for Calculating the Committed Burst (bc)
When calculating the bc, the following formula is used:
•
The bc in milliseconds (as shown in the show policy-map command) * the CIR in bits per seconds = total number bytes
The following values are used for calculating the bc:
300 ms * 409600 bps = 15360 bytes
Formula for Calculating the Excess Burst (be)
When calculating the bc and the be, the following formula is used:
•
The be in milliseconds (as shown in the show policy-map command) * the PIR in bits per seconds = total number bytes
The following values are used for calculating the be:
400 ms * 819200 bps = 40960 bytes
Table 16 describes the significant fields shown in the display.
Table 16 show policy-map interface Field Descriptions
Field DescriptionService-policy output
Name of the output service policy applied to the specified interface or VC.
Class-map
Class of traffic being displayed. Output is displayed for each configured class in the policy. The choice for implementing class matches (for example, match-all or match-any) can also appear next to the traffic class.
packets and bytes
Number of packets (also shown in bytes) identified as belonging to the class of traffic being displayed.
offered rate
Rate, in kbps, of packets coming in to the class.
drop rate
Rate, in kbps, at which packets are dropped from the class. The drop rate is calculated by subtracting the number of successfully transmitted packets from the offered rate.
Match
Match criteria specified for the class of traffic. Choices include criteria such as the Layer 3 packet length, IP precedence, IP differentiated services code point (DSCP) value, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) experimental value, access groups, and quality of service (QoS) groups. For more information about the variety of match criteria options that are available, refer to the "Configuring the Modular Quality of Service Command-Line Interface" chapter of the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Configuration Guide.
police
Indicates that traffic policing has been enabled. Display includes the CIR, PIR (in both a percentage of bandwidth and in bps) and the bc and be in bytes and milliseconds. Also displays the optional conform, exceed, and violate actions, if any, and the statistics associated with these optional actions.
Bandwidth Estimation show policy-map interface Command Example
The following sample output from the show policy-map interface command displays statistics for the FastEthernet 0/1 interface on which bandwidth estimates for quality of service (QoS) targets have been generated.
The Bandwidth Estimation section indicates that bandwidth estimates for QoS targets have been defined. These targets include the packet loss rate, the packet delay rate, and the timeframe in milliseconds. Confidence refers to the drop-one-in value (as a percentage) of the targets. Corvil Bandwidth means the bandwidth estimate in kilobits per second.
When no drop or delay targets are specified, "none specified, falling back to drop no more than one packet in 500" appears in the output.
