It is not clear what your requirements are. You are stating what your
solution is ;->
Assuming that you require to have the first queue to be of the utmost
priority followed by the first red queue as being important and then the
last two, then you need a prio qdisc with three bands:
+---- pfifo
|
+---- RED
|
+---- GRED
The pfifo will starved the lower 2. The RED will starve the GRED if it
can and GRED virtual queues will need to be set in (CISCO) WRED mode i.e
select GRIO but give them equal priority. Make sure those two VQs have
exactly the same drop priorities and queue parameters.
