Mice/Elephant flow optimization

[sethu ramalingam]

Hi All,

           We are students who are interested in doing a project on Mice/Elephant flow optimization. We came across SNABB Switch. Is it possible to carry out the optimization using SNABB Switch?

Hi Sethu,

Sure! As Snabb is a level 2 toolkit you have a plently of possibilites to
implement flow optimization.

You could take a look at the RateLimiter[1] app for a very basic rate limiter
implementation, and look at the Vlan[2] apps for one way to differentiate
different classes of traffic.

Hope I could help!

Cheers,
Max
