Abstract
An apparatus comprising a memory and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the memory contains instructions that when executed by the processor cause the apparatus to receive a migration request from a virtual machine (VM) proxy running on a first server hosting a VM, wherein the migration request comprises a VM identifier associated with the VM comprising a globally unique VM name and a current VM address associated with the first server, and wherein data packets associated with the VM are routed to the VM based upon the VM identifier and instruct a VM proxy running on a second server to receive the VM from the first server in response to the migration request, wherein the second server receives the VM, and wherein the VM name remains unchanged while the current VM address becomes associated with the second server after the second server receives the VM.
