By the way, I am not sure NET_XMIT_CN is correctly used in RED.

Or maybe my understanding of NET_XMIT_CN is wrong.

If a the packet is dropped in enqueue(), why use NET_XMIT_CN instead of 
NET_XMIT_DROP ?

This seems to mean : I dropped _this_ packet, but dont worry too much, I
might accept other packets, so please go on...
