This article is incorrect.

WRED is not about multiple queues with different RED settings. WRED is about different RED curves for ONE queue, whereby traffic of different color in the SAME QUEUE meets different drop probabilities. WRED applies to a single queue, a single traffic class. It is meant to provide better forwarding probabilities for traffic that was conforming at the network edge than traffic that was out of profile.

zbalint is right. WRED works within a single queue.

Made some changes to reflect the right meaning.

Join with RED and Drop Tail under Router queue algorithms

[edit]

Since RED article takes a paragraph to essentially describe Drop Tail in full, and WRED is only an upgrade to RED, I don't think they need three separate pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.249.159.8 (talk) 17:04, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
