agent Cos Queue Mgmt Wred Dropped Prob Scale

1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.10.3.3.2.5.1.5

A scaling factor used for the WRED calculation to determine the packet drop probability for the current drop precedence level. The value is specified as a number S from 1-15 and is used in the formula: 1/(2** S), meaning one packet is dropped out of every (2** S). Packet dropping begins when agentCosQueueMgmtWredMinThreshold is reached and proceeds linearly up to the (2**S) value specified by this object until the agentCosQueueMgmtWredMaxThreshold is reached, beyond which all packets are dropped. Smaller values of S produce a steeper slope, hence a higher incidence of randomly dropped packets. The default value is 10, which corresponds to a drop rate of 1 out of every (2**10)=1024 packets. This object is only used when agentCosQueueMgmtType is set to wred(2).
