Claim:
1. A method comprising: initiating, by a processing device of a source hypervisor, a migration of a guest, wherein the migration comprises copying guest data from the source hypervisor to a target hypervisor, and wherein a network address of the guest does not change as a result of the migration; transmitting to the target hypervisor, by the processing device of the source hypervisor, a notification that specifies the network address of the guest and is separate from the guest data copied to the target hypervisor; and transmitting to the target hypervisor, by the processing device of the source hypervisor after the notification has been transmitted and before all of the guest data has been copied to the target hypervisor, a signal requesting that the notification be sent to a network device associated with the target hypervisor, wherein the signal is transmitted in response to a status request from the target hypervisor.
