Network-based VM Migration Architecture in Edge Computing

In this paper, we consider network-based VM migration in the Edge Computing environment, which provides minimized downtime and user processing load. The architecture and interfaces for network-based VM migration in an edge computing environment are defined based on 3-tiered network architecture to support various VM migration scenarios depending on network capability and stateful application. We classify the possible migration scenarios in the edge computing architecture and design the functional blocks required for the edge devices to support them.
