Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for a traffic management circuit of a data plane forwarding circuit. The traffic management circuit receives data messages from a set of ingress pipelines and provides the data messages to a set of egress pipelines. The method identifies a flow control event. The method provides metadata regarding the flow control event to a message generation circuit of the data plane forwarding circuit via a bus between the traffic management circuit and the message generation circuit.
