the policy definition.

executed.

randomdrop
This command changes the active queue depth management scheme from the default tail drop to
RED. The first two data parameters are the average queue depth minimum and maximum
threshold values specified in bytes. The minimum threshold is an integer from 1 to 250000. The
maximum threshold is an integer from 1 to 500000, but it must be equal to or greater than the
minimum threshold. The third data parameter is the maximum drop probability and is an integer
from 0 to 100. It indicates the percentage likelihood that a packet will be dropped when the
average queue depth reaches the maximum threshold value.
