Vyatta has scripting that handles all that:

vyatta@napa:~$ configure

yatta@napa# set traffic-policy random-detect MyWFQ bandwidth 1gbps

vyatta@napa# set interfaces ethernet eth0 traffic-policy out MyWFQ

vyatta@napa# commit

vyatta@napa# exit
vyatta@napa:~$ show queueing ethernet eth0

Also WRED is not default on faster links because it can't be done
fast enough.
