That's the only thing available to me on the platforms I have. If you 
would like this improved, please reach out to the Cisco ASR9k BU and tell 
them to implement ECN and PIE (or something even better). They won't do it 
because I say so, it seems. WRED is all they give me.

Sorry, I only transport the packets, I don't create them.

If i have lots of queue I might instead get customer complaints about high 
latency for their interactive applications.
