Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products for queue management are provided. Aspects include receiving a first queue entry and storing the first queue entry in a queue at a first location, wherein the first queue entry includes a first target destination, receiving a second queue entry and storing the second queue entry in the queue at a second location, wherein the second queue entry includes a second target destination, tracking a relative age for each of the first queue entry and the second queue entry, transmitting the first queue entry to the first target destination based at least in part on the relative age for the first queue entry being greater than the relative age for the second queue entry, and receiving a third queue entry and storing the third queue entry in the queue at the first location.
