# 14.6. Generic Random Early Detection

Not a lot is known about GRED. It looks like GRED with several internal queues, whereby the internal queue is chosen based on the Diffserv tcindex field. According to a slide found here, it contains the capabilities of Cisco's 'Distributed Weighted RED', as well as Dave Clark's RIO.

Each virtual queue can have its own Drop Parameters specified.

FIXME: get Jamal or Werner to tell us more
