Hi,
     In the Random Drop Table of the MIB, the random drop algorithm is to
drop a Packet with a probability equal to the MaxProb specified , when the
queue average crosses the the Maximum Thresholds. But isnt it that this
specifies the Max Probability to be used only when the Queue average is
between the minimum and maximum thresholds, and when the average crosses the
maximum threshold , every packet should be dropped? If it is as specified in
the MIB, then the Queue Average could increase even when the Queue Average
is greater than the Maximum Threshold....

Ratnakar.
