Title: Network Portability Requirements and Models for Cloud Environment Author(s): Keiichi Shima, Yuji Sekiya Date: 2010-09-07 @manual{Shima:ID:cloud-net-portability, author = "Keiichi Shima", "Yuji Sekiya" title = "Network Portability Requirements and Models for Cloud Environment", organization = "IETF", note = "draft-shima-cloud-net-portability-reqs-and-models-00.txt", month = "September", year = 2010 } %Abstract % % Recent progress of virtual machine technology made it possible to % host various Internet service nodes in a so called cloud environment. % The virtual machine hosting technology provides a method to migrate a % virtual machine from one hypervisor to another.
