ABSTRACT:
The disclosure includes description of a technique for processing a network packet at a device. The technique can include accessing an entry for a packet in one of a plurality of source queues and, based on the accessed entry, determining whether to queue an entry for the packet in at least one of a plurality of destination queues.
