It takes a lot of tweakings to get it to optimal ofcourse and its only efficient in overall TCP and/or congestion managed flows that can back off/drop down during signs of congestion through packet drop. On the same token however, RED is probably useful for certain edge routers, on customer serial interfaces. But again, dependent on the type of traffic customer does, etc. > Is there anybody could do some help on telling me: > > 1. Is there any ISP use WRED in there network and gain > much from it?
