hi i have a question regarding the random drop counter and drop probability on a T3 interface that is terminating T1s.

I have fair-queue enabled on the interface ser10/0/0/1:1 and random detect, this interface is also being rate-limited to 768K in/out.



This interface has extremely brusty traffic, it constantly goes from



30 second input rate 3000 bits/sec, 3 packets/sec
30 second output rate 14000 bits/sec, 3 packets/sec



to



30 second input rate 423000 bits/sec
30 second output rate 774000 bits/sec





I'm trying to eliminate global sync and letting the most important packets through.









sh queueing int ser10/0/0/1:1

Interface Serial10/0/0/1:1 queueing strategy: VIP-based fair queueing

Serial10/0/0/1:1 queue size 0

pkts output 14386, wfq drops 496, nobuffer drops 0

WFQ: aggregate queue limit 192 max available buffers 192



Packet drop strategy: VIP-based random early detection (DWRED)

Exp-weight-constant: 9 (1/512)

Mean queue depth: 0

Queue size: 0 Maximum available buffers: 192

Output packets: 14386 WRED drops: 496 No buffer: 0



Class Random Tail Minimum Maximum Mark Output

drop drop threshold threshold probability Packets

0 0 0 48 96 1/5 13609

1 0 0 54 96 1/7 414

2 0 0 60 96 1/9 0

3 0 0 66 96 1/10 0

4 0 0 72 96 1/10 0

5 0 0 78 96 1/10 0

6 0 0 84 96 1/0 0

7 0 0 90 96 1/0 0





according to the above, wfq droped 496, and it also says WRED droped 496 but on WRED random drop counters its all zeros, is there a reason for this?



I had to manual configure the drop probability because by default it was all 1/0, although it listed WRED dropping packets, shouldn't the default be 1/10?





thanks in advance, P
