fair dropping?

[Eddie Kohler]

Hello Smellies,

So RED can currently accept an optional argument that's the list of queues
to use for its queue length calculation. This gets you part way there...
you can do this:

q1::Queue; q2::Queue; q3::Queue; ...

RED(..., q1 q2 q3) -> q1;
RED(..., q1 q2 q3) -> q2;
RED(..., q1 q2 q3) -> q3;

But really this seems like a new kind of box. Since you're not dropping the
packet that just arrived, what you really want to do is pull a packet off
the tail of some queue and drop that. This would be a different kind of
box...

love,
ed
