PACKET FORWARDING OPTIMIZATION WITH VIRTUAL MACHINE MOBILITY

摘要

In one embodiment, a method includes tracking at a network device in communication with a plurality of virtual machines, virtual machine movement based on a device identifier in a packet received from one of the virtual machines and storing location information for the virtual machine in a virtual machine move list at the network device. The location information from the virtual machine move list is inserted into a forwarding information base for use in optimized forwarding of packets destined for the virtual machine. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
