Hi Thomas

In 2005, TC_RED_HARDDROP kernel support was added to RED and GRED
(commit bdc450a0bb1 [PKT_SCHED]: (G)RED: Introduce hard dropping), but
current iproute2 doesnt have user land support.

Is there some patch waiting somewhere, or should we :

- Remove kernel support, since nobody uses it.

- Add iproute2 support.

Thanks
