All,

I have a $1 dollar bet with one of my colleagues that RED or even WRED
(depending on how its configured) does drop UDP packets. He states that
since the congestion avoidance mechanisms of RED only works on TCP flows
that only TCP packets will be dropped "only". The problem is I have been
searching and can't find any good documentation to back up my theory. Also,
I haven't had time to test in the lab. Does anyone have some good
links proving one of our theories (preferably mine ;-) ). Your input would
be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Mike
