Reducing Virtual Machine Migration Delay Using SCTP

An effective load balance (LB) management achieves high performance computing (HPC) and green computing. Users can run their tasks on virtual machines (VMs). Virtual machines (VM) have their own resources (CPU and memory). VM migrates from host to another host during fail of VM, hot spot and high resource demand. Effective LB management is based on scheduling policy and management Strategies. In this paper programming and networking models have been proposed for monitoring the Physical Machines (PMs/Computers) to be able to migrate VMs for efficient load balancing. The aim of this research is to elaborate the key analysis of research works on load balancing (LB). In this research virtual machines have been migrated from one host machine to another PM depending upon parameters (i.e. Memory, CPU, Temperature, etc.) of the host machines using multi-streaming feature of SCTP (Stream Control Transport Protocol). This research helps to evaluate the performance of different protocols (TCP/IP, SCTP) as well as it provides detailed material for virtualization and virtual machine migration using these protocols.
