HSMDA WRED Slope parameters

HSMDA High Slope

The High Slope parameter specifies how the high-priority packets, also known as in-profile packets, access the shared portion of the buffer pool. The probability of the buffer pools discarding packets is determined by the RED slope. The RED slope is indicated on the client GUI in a graph.

The Start Depth, Max Depth, and Max Prob. parameters specify the values of the RED slope.

In general, packets that are in-profile fall within the configured CIR and PIR ranges. This means that the packets are more likely to gain access to the shared buffer pool, and not be discarded because of a buffer overflow.

HSMDA Low Slope

The Low Slope parameter specifies how the low-priority packets, also known as out-of-profile packets, access the shared portion of the buffer pool. The probability of the buffer pools discarding packets is determined by the RED slope. The RED slop is indicated on the client GUI in a graph.

The Start Depth, Max Depth, and Max Prob. parameters specify the values of the RED slope.

In general, packets that are out-of-profile fall outside configured CIR and PIR ranges. This means that the packets should not be allowed to cause a buffer overflow in the shared buffer pool, and are more likely to be discarded because of a buffer overflow.
