Abstract :
We present a live migration solution based on Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), a light-weight mobility protocol standardized by IETF. PMIPv6 handles node mobility without requiring any support from the moving nodes. In addition, PMIPv6 works with IPv4, IPv6 and dual-stack nodes. Our results from a real testbed show that network connectivity is successfully maintained with little signaling overhead and with short virtual machine (VM) downtime. As far as we know, this is the first time PMIPv6 is used to enable live migration beyond the scope of a LAN.
