Abstract
A network element (NE) comprising a hypervisor configured to receive a first virtual machine (VM) from a source hypervisor, and send a first VM mobility registration request to a management node, wherein the first VM mobility registration request comprises a VM identifier associated with the first VM and an internet protocol (IP) address associated with the hypervisor. Also disclosed is a management node comprising a binding cache, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to receive a first VM mobility registration request from a first hypervisor, wherein the first VM mobility registration is associated with a VM, and record VM information from the first VM mobility registration request in an entry of the binding cache.
