This read-write object specifies the action the port takes based on the received Drop Eligibility Indicator (DEI) bit in incoming frames, controlling how drop-eligible marked traffic is treated once it arrives. An administrator configures it to decide whether DEI-marked frames get remapped, dropped preferentially under congestion, or otherwise handled distinctly from non-DEI traffic. For example, setting a specific receive DEI action lets a carrier honor a customer's own drop-eligibility marking rather than overriding it at ingress.
