At least one data packet at one or more upstream processing elements in an upstream processing node is received. The method also includes determining if at least one output queue of the upstream processing elements includes available space for processing of the data packet. The data packet is processed in response to the output queue including available space to form a resulting data packet. The method further includes determining that an input queue of at least one downstream processing element of a plurality of downstream processing elements includes available space for receiving the resulting data packet In response to the determining, the resulting data packet is transmitted from the upstream processing element to the downstream processing element.
