The type of algorithm used by this dropper. A value of
tailDrop(2) or headDrop(3) represents an algorithm that is
completely specified by this MIB. A value of other(1) requires
further specification in some other MIB module.
The tailDrop(2) algorithm is described as follows:
diffServAlgDropQThreshold represents the depth of the queue
diffServAlgDropQMeasure at which all newly arriving packets will
be dropped.
The headDrop(3) algorithm is described as follows: if a packet
arrives when the current depth of the queue
diffServAlgDropQMeasure is at diffServAlgDropQThreshold, packets
currently at the head of the queue are dropped to make room for
the new packet to be enqueued at the tail of the queue.
The randomDrop(4) algorithm is described as follows: on packet
arrival, an algorithm is executed which may randomly drop the
packet, or drop other packet(s) from the queue in its place. The
specifics of the algorithm may be proprietary. For this
algorithm, an associated diffServRandomDropEntry is indicated by
pointing diffServAlgDropSpecific at the diffServRandomDropTable.
The relevant entry in that table is selected by the common
indexing of the two tables. For this algorithm,
diffServAlgQThreshold is understood to be the absolute maximum
size of the queue and additional parameters are described in
diffServRandomDropTable.
