Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided in which a source and target perform bidirectional forwarding of traffic while a migration guest is being transferred from the source to the target. In some examples, the migration guest is exposed to the impending migration and takes an action in response. A virtual network programming controller informs other devices in the network of the change, such that those devices may communicate directly with the migration guest on the target host. According to some examples, an “other” virtual network device in communication with the controller and the target host facilitates the seamless migration. In such examples, the forwarding may be performed only until the other virtual machine receives an incoming packet from the target host, and then the other virtual machine resumes communication with the migration guest on the target host.

Claim (Index 14):
A method, comprising:\n receiving, at a migration guest on a source host, an indication that the migration guest will be migrated from the source host to a target host; changing, by the migration guest, a state of the migration guest from a first state to a second state in response to receiving the indication, wherein in the second state the migration guest completes existing tasks without accepting new task; copying the migration guest from the source host to the target host; sending, by the migration guest on the target host, one or more packets directly to an other guest, the one or more packets indicating to the other guest that migration is complete, the other guest being a virtual machine; and receiving, by the migration guest on the target host, packets directly from the other guest through an egress path specified by a token at the other guest.
