integer

Hard limit on the real queue size in packets.

max

integer

Average queue size in packets at which RED drop probability is maximal.

maximum_bandwidth_percentage

integer

Maximum bandwith in percentage.

min

integer

Average queue size in packets at which RED drop becomes a possibility.

priority

string

Priority.

Choices:

  • high

  • medium

  • low

  • top

  • critical

red_probability

integer

Maximum probability (in percentage) for RED marking.

type

string

Select shaping profile type: policing / queuing.

Choices:

  • policing

  • queuing

member_path

string

Member attribute path to operate on.
