"Elephant flow" is a concept that typically pertains to data networking and refers to large data flows that consume significant bandwidth, often contrasting with "mouse flows," which are smaller, more routine data transmissions. In computer networking, flows can be characterized by the amount of data being transmitted and the duration of the transmission. Elephant flows can be associated with tasks like data backups, large file transfers, or streaming video, while mouse flows might consist of smaller data packets related to web browsing or quick transactions.
