Abstract:
1. A method comprising: identifying a socket associated with a virtual operating system migration to a destination computer; assigning at least one buffer to store a portion of a network protocol unit carrying information associated with the virtual operating system migration, wherein the assigning comprises assigning a header buffer and a payload buffer; determining whether a received network protocol unit carries information for a virtual operating system migration; selectively transferring the received network protocol unit carrying information associated with the virtual operating system migration to the assigned at least one buffer in response to a determination that the received network protocol unit carries information for a virtual operating system migration; and selectively providing availability of a payload of the received network protocol unit directly from the assigned payload buffer, wherein contents of the assigned payload buffer are available to application logic directly from the assigned payload buffer absent copying of the contents from the assigned payload buffer to another buffer.
