Abstract:
In one example, a method comprises receiving, by a forwarding manager for an internal forwarding path executed by at least one packet processor of a forwarding unit of a network device, one or more packet processing operations from a control unit of the network device; generating, by the forwarding manager based on the one or more packet processing operations, a plurality of nodes each comprising a unique token, wherein a first node of the plurality of nodes includes a token reference set to a value for the token of a second node of the plurality of nodes; configuring, by the forwarding manager based on the nodes, the forwarding path to include respective forwarding path elements for the plurality of nodes; and processing, by the packet processor, a packet received by the forwarding unit by executing the forwarding path elements.

Claim (Index 14):
The network device of  claim 13 , wherein to configure the forwarding path to include respective forwarding path elements for the nodes the forwarding manager is configured to, based at least on the token reference of the first node, set a next hop of a first forwarding path element corresponding to the first node to a second forwarding path element corresponding the second node.
