Dynamic Virtual Machine Migration using Network Aware Topology

Abstract

Clients of the applications communicate with the services hosted in the VMs. Many applications have clients all over the world. An application is expected to provide faster access and transmission of data to its clients if it is geographically close to its clients, as some of the research work suggests that geographical distance has impact on quality of service (QoS) [1,2,3]. In order to provide a faster access and data transfer, applications which have clients all over the world should be hosted in a data center, which is on average close to its clients geographically.
