Various embodiments are directed to scalable and configurable queue management for network packet traffic Quality of Service (QoS). In one or more embodiments, the queue management may be implemented by a network processor comprising a queue manager to assert interrupts indicating that one or more queues require service, and a core processor to apply an interrupt mask to a status register value identifying the one or more queues that require service and to provide service during a particular service cycle to only those queues that are not masked out. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
