I tried RED in 2.3. It does not change anything, at least
I did not find parameters, when it behaves better than tail drop.
My interpretation was that RED is useful only for "elastic" streams,
when offender reacts to dropping with a backoff. SYN stream is never
elastic, hence RED is equivalent to tail drop not depending on
parameters. But this reasoning may be wrong. The only truth is that
RED is not so easy to tune. 8)
