Abstract
A method for data set migration, implemented in a network device is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request at a network device to migrate a data set, and sending a signaling packet from a first data center toward a first in a series of circuit switching devices to reach a second data center, where the signaling packet includes metadata containing transmission selection and characteristics of the data set, where the signaling packet is processed through the series, each of which configures its forwarding path based at least on the metadata of the signaling packet. The method continues with waiting for a period long enough to allow each of the series to configure its forwarding path, where that circuit switching device releases the configured forwarding path after the migration duration. The method continues with sending the data set following the transmission selection of the signaling packet after the period expires.
