One way to detect Elephant flows on OVS is to enable sFlow on OVS. The following article provides an example of Elephant flow detection and marking using OVS / Mininet:
http://blog.sflow.com/2014/04/mininet-integrated-hybrid-openflow.html There have been some experiments described using patched versions of OVS to detect Elephant flows (although I don't believe the patches have been made public yet): http://blogs.vmware.com/networkvirtualization/2014/02/elephant-flow-mitigation.html http://etherealmind.com/elephant-detection-virtual-switches-mitigation-hardware/ The sFlow standard is widely supported by data center switch vendors, providing visibility from gateway devices virtualizing physical servers, and extending visibility from the edge into the physical fabric to provide end-to-end visibility to support Elephant flow load balancing etc. Peter On Jul 28, 2014, at 6:39 AM, Bhargav Bhikkaji <bhargav.i...@gmail.com> wrote: > How do one detect Elephant flow on OVS ?.
