Absolutely, what I meant is that GRED does not take influence on the
actual ordering of packets not dropped. The priority together with
the qavg parameters and the thresholds only have influence on the
probability a packet gets marked/dropped, sure this is prioritization
as well but Rahul wanted to have one VQ strave out another VQ
completely. My point is that this is not possible with GRED.
