Abstract
A packet processor or packet processing pipeline may implement programmatic selection of load balancing output for forwarding paths. Programmatic selection for load balancing among forwarding paths may be enabled or disabled at one or more stages. If programmatic selection is enabled when network packets are received, a programmatically identified path may be provided as the selected path of a load balancing scheme at a stage. Forwarding of the packet may then be performed according to the selected path.
