There is no queues in nginx itself.  All requests nginx knows 
about are being processed, and various numbers can be seen in 
stub_status.

Note well that it's usually important to look at nginx and your 
backends listen socket queues.  To find out listen socket queues, 
consider your OS docs.  E.g., under FreeBSD "netstat -Lan" shows 
various listen queues.  On recent enough versions of Linux, listen 
queues can be seen with "netstat -nlt" or "ss -nlt".
