Elephant flow agent traffic congestion remediation

The Elephant flow agent is an intelligent remediation agent that

  • helps you remediate high-bandwidth traffic flows that impact network performance and critical applications

  • relies on a valid AgenticOps-generated insight and uses the device and application information provided in the insight to construct a trust rule and guide the remediation workflow, and

  • provides a guided remediation experience directly within the conversation workflow.

Elephant flow impact and remediation approach

Large traffic flows, commonly referred to as elephant flows, can consume excessive bandwidth, increase firewall processing overhead, and degrade application performance across the network. Unlike traditional troubleshooting workflows that require manual investigation across multiple dashboards and telemetry sources, the Elephant flow agent provides a guided remediation experience directly within the conversation workflow.

Note

The Elephant flow agent remediates only high-bandwidth traffic flows identified in a valid AgenticOps-generated insight; it does not detect elephant flows.
