Abstract
Technologies for performing dynamic configurations to a transmit scheduler of a network device with minimal downtime are disclosed. The transmit scheduler includes a topology of scheduling nodes. The transmit scheduler identifies, from a number of configuration operations to be executed on one or more of the scheduling nodes, one or more first configuration operations to be executed while the scheduling nodes are active, one or more second configuration operations to be executed while the scheduling nodes are inactive, and one or more third configuration operations to be executed via a cache. The first operations are executed as part of a background process. The second operations are executed while the scheduling nodes are inactive. The third operations are executed via the cache.
