A communication network comprises a central processing unit, data ingress ports and data egress ports configured to exchange data with a further network device of the communication network, and a plurality of co-processors that comprises frame normalization co-processors, ingress queuing co-processors, filtering and policing co-processors, intermediate queuing co-processors, a gatewaying co-processor, egress queuing co-processors, and a traffic shaping co-processor. The central processing unit configures and controls the data ingress ports, the data egress ports, and the plurality of co-processors to implement data processing paths in parallel or in a pipeline between the ingress ports and the egress ports.

Network device and method for switching, routing and/or gatewaying data

A controller is configured to: obtain a state of each of a plurality of queues of a network node; determine, based on the states of the queues, whether the utilization of one or more queues exceeds one or more thresholds; generate one or more new entries for a gate control list of the network node that controls the plurality of queues, if one or more thresholds are exceeded; and provide the one or more new entries to the network node. Further, a network node is configured to provide a state of each of a plurality of queues to a controller, and obtain one or more new entries for a gate control list of the network node that controls the plurality of queues, from the controller.
