Hi
thank you for response. I also think so. But following confused me

"You can configure WRED as part of the policy for a standard class or the
default class. The WRED random-detect command and the weighted fair
queueing (WFQ) queue-limit command are mutually exclusive for class policy.
If you configure WRED, its packet drop capability is used to manage the
queue when packets exceeding the configured maximum count are enqueued. If
you configure the WFQ queue-limit command for class policy, tail drop is used.
"

thanks - Arif
