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 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein configuring the forwarding path to include respective forwarding path elements for the nodes comprises:\n based at least on the token reference of the first node, setting a next hop of a first forwarding path element corresponding to the first node to a second forwarding path element corresponding the second node.
