RED is "Random Early Detection", an active queue management technique proposed by S. Floyd and V. Jacobson that can help alleviate certain types of problems associated with too much incoming traffic for a link (or in this case, a dummynet pipe). GRED is "Gentle Early Random Detection", a modification Floyd later proposed. An excellent article on Active Queue Management written by Kostas Pentikousis that includes some good stuff on RED can be found here: http://www.acm.org/crossroads/columns/connector/july2001.html Aaron out.
