How does queue type RED works?

Thu Apr 18, 2024 3:31 pm

at https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Queue#RED we have descriptions of RED queue parameters, ill write it down for you
red-avg-packet (integer [ 1..65535]; Default: 1000)	Used by RED for average queue size calculations (for packet to byte translation)
red-burst (integer [0..4294967295 ]; Default: 20)	Number of packets allowed for bursts of packets when there are no packets in the queue
red-limit (integer [0..4294967295 ]; Default: 60)	RED queue limit in packets
red-max-threshold (integer [0..4294967295 ]; Default: 50)	The average queue size at which packet marking probability is the highest.
red-min-threshold (integer [0..4294967295 ]; Default: 10)	Average queue size in bytes.
What i dont understand is why
red-max-threshold (integer [0..4294967295 ]; Default: 50)
and
red-min-threshold (integer [0..4294967295 ]; Default: 10)
have small default integer if it says this?
Average queue size in bytes.


i mean an average packet size is 500-1000 bytes and not even one packet can be queued by this default.

Maybe mikrotik made a mistake and red operates only with packets, but then i dont understand why red have this paramater if red doesnt count bytes.
red-avg-packet (integer [ 1..65535]; Default: 1000)	Used by RED for average queue size calculations (for packet to byte translation)

Can someone post an example of configured red queue with explanations?
