The amount, in the form of a factor, that the current, actual queue occupancy should influence the averaged queue occupancy. The averaged queue occupancy can be used for comparison to configured drop thresholds in RED or RED-like dropper implementations. Larger the weight, the greater the instantaneous queue occupancy influences the averaged queue occupancy. Usually, dramatic changes in the instantaneous queue occupancy is the result of bursty input streams. Notice this numeric attribute is divided by 10,000 to get the effective fractional factor used in the actual calculations.
