Abstract
In some embodiments, a method receives a packet for a flow associated with a workload. Based on an indicator for the flow, the method determines whether the flow corresponds to one of an elephant flow or a mice flow. Only when the flow is determined to correspond to an elephant flow, the method enables a hardware acceleration operation on the packet. The hardware acceleration operation may include hardware operation offload, receive side scaling, and workload migration.
