There's a fairly new traffic management working group in the P4 org.
They're trying to define an extension to the P4 language to describe a
programmable interface to packet scheduling and traffic shaping.

You have to be a member of the P4 consortium to take part (most of the
lists on http://lists.p4.org/mailman/listinfo are members only). It's
free for individuals, though; but you do have to sign a CLA. See
https://p4.org/join/
