Programmable Data Plane Switch based Heavy Hitter Flow Detection using Packet-Count and Packet-Size features

In data networks carrying large numbers of flows, Heavy Hitters (HHs) or Elephant flows are the flows exceeding pre-determined thresholds (e.g. number of packets or bytes) in a given time window. Such HH flows need to be handled differently in order to minimize their impact on other smaller flows. HH detection techniqu...
