Re: No WRED for 3560 , why not ?

My reasoning does not make sense.

If 3550 is not hitting the thresholds, 3550's WRED
doesn't take effect. At this situation, if 3560
hits threshold and if 3560 is the bottle neck
of the path, the TCP sessions contending the same
queue will get global synchronization symptom .

I am curious about few vendors give situations
when the location of the bottle neck matters.
Everyone seems to be satisfied with controlling
a particular device's QOS behavior.
