Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for a hardware forwarding element that includes multiple queues. The method receives a packet at a multi-stage processing pipeline of the hardware forwarding element. The method determines, at one of the stages of the processing pipeline, to modify a setting of a particular one of the queues. The method stores an identifier for the particular queue and instructions to modify the queue setting with data passed through the processing pipeline for the packet. The stored information is subsequently used by the hardware forwarding element to modify the queue setting.
