Abstract

This document specifies a new IP level protocol for seamless virtual machine mobility in data centers. Source Hypervisor registers the newly created virtual machine with the centrally available management node. When the virtual machine moves to the destination Hypervisor, the destination Hypervisor updates the virtual machine record in the management node. Management node sends registration message to all previous source Hypervisors in order to direct the ongoing traffic to the destination Hypervisor. Cold and hot virtual machine mobility are achieved using dynamic domain name system update and host routes. Both intra data center and inter data center hot virtual machine mobility solutions are presented.
