Abstract

In the Cloud Computing, the migration mechanism can provide services, computing jobs and resources moved from a virtual environment to another virtual environment, and service providers can fit out their logic network architectures to offer services for user requirements. The network live migration across the different networks is a big challenge of the migration mechanism. In the paper, logical network architecture was proposed to provide the Cloud Computing in a hybrid network environment. The logical network concept, tunnel technology, domain name service and some existing network protocols were integrated into the proposed mechanism to provide network live migration across the different networks. The proposed mechanism implemented based on Open vSwitch and XEN. In our experimental results, we confirm that the proposed mechanism can provide network live migration across the different networks, and the network service will not be break. The performance evaluations also show that the proposed architecture can better than the NEMO solution.
