This disclosure describes systems and methods for priority flow control in a network switching device having two or more egress queue managers for managing egress queues of ports of the network switching device. A first egress queue manager determines respective fill levels of packet data that is buffered in egress queues. The first egress queue manager generates a data structure that relates a port of the egress queue manager at which selected packets are ingressed and a port or an egress queue of the egress queue manager from which the selected packets are to be egressed. The first egress queue manager signals to one or more other egress managers the respective fill levels of egress queues along with other information to enable at least one of the other egress queue managers to make a priority flow control decision for one of the ports managed by the other egress queue manager.
