Hi all,
For my academic project to analyse the Performance of transport protocols in
Live Migration of Virtual Machines.I have configured the live migration
using tcp and I succeed the live migration.
Now for my further remaining project work I need to do the same thing for
the UDP implemataiton.When I changed the command in virsh, (My fianl command
in TCP isvirsh migrate --live ubuntu21 qemu+ssh://172.16.17.23/system tcp://
172.16.17.23:444) to udp it is not workng. It is given that qemu embeds user
mode network stack which includes tcp,dhcp,udp.etc within the wemu process.
Its giving the error no API found for UDP.
---Now i want to implement the patch file for migration using UDP if
possible.
IMHO doing migration over UDP is crazy, because migration needs to be
reliable, so you'll end up having to reimplemnt most of TCP features
in your UDP migration code. In any case, this is something that would
have to be done in QEMU code, rather than libvirt.
---Where I should change the API in order to perform the live
migration
using UDP.
---Is any patch file available so that modifying that patch file will
perform the Live Migration using UDP.
This would be the QEMU migration code, rather than libvirt.
--Is there any other transport layer protocols can be used instead of
TCP
during Live migration.?
Not currently.
--How about using RUDP instead of TCP.
Best to take all these questions to the QEMU mailing list
