Abstract

Disclosed is a method, system, and program for adding an operation (e.g., an operation that provides information about data for transfer or a storage operation) to a structure (e.g., a queue). If a priority level associated with a data packet identified by the operation has a first designation comprising a high priority, placing the operation into a first structure (e.g., a queue) with a least number of operations. If the priority level associated with the data packet identified by the operation has a second designation comprising a low priority, placing the operation into a second structure (e.g., a queue) with a most number of operations.
