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 13):
A network device comprising:\n a control unit configured to execute at least one application; and a forwarding unit comprising:\n an interface card configured to receive packets; \n at least one packet processor operably coupled to a memory; \n an internal forwarding path, wherein at least a portion of the forwarding path is stored to the memory and is executable by the at least one packet processor; \n a forwarding unit processor; and \n a forwarding manager configured for execution by the forwarding unit processor, \n wherein the forwarding manager is configured to receive one or more packet processing operations, wherein the forwarding manager is configured to generate, based on the one or more packet processing operations, a plurality of nodes each comprising a unique token, wherein a first node of the nodes includes a token reference set to a value for the token of a second node of the nodes, wherein the forwarding manager is configured to configure, based on the nodes, the forwarding path to include respective forwarding path elements for the nodes, and wherein the at least one packet processor is configured to process the packets received by the forwarding unit by executing the forwarding path elements.
