Sorry, I should have been more specific. I meant WRED, configuring for
all viable precedence values.

Do we have the exact wording of the original question? That might clear
up any inconsistencies.

Is that the case? Does anyone have any supporting documentation? It is
my understanding that the RED kicks in to avoid congestion on the link
BEFORE it happens. I can't seem to locate any documentation that
supports this theory.

This may be thinking outside the box, but maybe we could do this with
policing....transmit up to 60% of the link speed, then....set an exceed
action to set-dscp-transmit. Do this on the incoming interface. Then,
on the outgoing interface...set the random detect to dscp-based. Just a
thought.

I would submit that the threshold for RED is exactly what you're looking
for here. If you set a threshold at 60%, at that point RED kicks in and
begins to drop packets. Before that time, packets flow normally.

Hmmm, I am not sure if you can control "when" RED is in effect. Other
than based on dscp or precedence. Maybe someone else has some ideas on
this one.

yep,
thats what i want , if traffic exceed 60 % enable random detect on the
interface

        That is an interesting lab question....it appears the first
scenario
        would provide a minimum of 60 percent of the link for all
traffic and
        also do random detect on the same traffic, since they are both
part of
        the same class. The second one is similar, but shaping to 60%
and also
        doing random detect on that traffic. However, the way I read
your
        question is...to only do random detect when the threshold of 60%
is
        exceeded. Is this what you are looking to do?

        dear all,
        I have a question, if said all traffic on an interface will use
60 % and
        you
        must enable random detection if traffic pass this limit,
        I have 2 things in minds but i dont know who will be the correct
answer.

        1- by using the bandwidth command

        policy-map xx
        class all-traffic
        bandwidth percent 60
        random detect
        !
        where class all-traffic will match all the traffic
        but as far as I know the bandwidth command will not reserve the
60 %
        untill
        there is a congetion on the physical interface itself, and
random detect
        will not work there is a main interface congestion and the
traffic will
        exceed 60 % Am i right about that ????

        2- by using the shaping command and i think this will be the
right
        answer:

        policy-map xx
        class all-traffic
        shape average percent 60
        random detect
        !
        I think this will be the solution?
        any comment or any other solutions about that?
