Patent ID: 8910164

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving, by a first hypervisor associated with a first processor comprising a processing device, an indication that a migration of a virtual machine from the first processor to a second processor is to occur; transmitting, by the first hypervisor associated with the first processor, user datagram protocol (UDP) packets intended for the virtual machine to a second hypervisor associated with the second processor based on the indication; causing, by the first hypervisor, the first processor to transmit a signal to the virtual machine to enter an offline state, wherein the offline states comprises a transfer of a central processing unit (CPU) state and a memory state, and wherein the virtual machine is configured to halt a processing of the UDP packets based on receiving the signal; reactivating the virtual machine based on the migration of the virtual machine from the first processor to the second processor being complete; and based on the reactivating of the virtual machine, instructing, by the second hypervisor, the virtual machine to reorder the UDP packets and resume the processing of the reordered UDP packets.
