Abstract

Example embodiments relate to elephant flow detection in a computing device. In example embodiments, a computing device may monitor a socket for a given flow. The computing device may then determine whether the flow is an elephant flow based on the monitoring of the socket. If so, the computing device may signal the network that transmits the flow that the flow is an elephant flow.
