Traffic management in software-defined networks (SDNs) is critical for efficient bandwidth utilization and resource provisioning. Recent works on SDN load balancing (LB) have focused on identifying and rerouting elephant flows (EFs) for effective bandwidth usage. These techniques have some limitatio...
