I thought just like you: it is used only within classes. But I cannot grasp the whole thing at all.
In order to avoid tail droping when a queue reachs a certain threshold - depending on the queue discipline - some packets are "ramdomly" discarded. If all the queues are avoiding tail droping, discarding some part of incoming traffic and those two packets arrived, which one would be more "likely" to be discarded ? AF marking plays no role in such a situtation ? Thank you for answering.
