RED Drop Probability Function

 

The following illustration shows the drop probability function with associated parameters. 

 

Max. DP 1-3 is the drop probability when the average queue filling level is 100%. Frames marked with Drop Precedence Level 0 are 

never dropped. Min. Threshold is the average queue filling level where the queues randomly start dropping frames. The drop 

probability for frames marked with Drop Precedence Level n increases linearly from zero (at Min. Threshold average queue filling 

level) to Max. DP n (at 100% average queue filling level).
