Abstract

Virtual networks may be used in a cloud data center to provide personalized networking services for the applications running in the cloud. As the virtual networks come to the data center and leave it, the data center network load may become unbalanced where some parts of the data center has accommodated many virtual networks while a few virtual networks are mapped to other parts of the data center. This situation may lead to packet loss and service level agreement violations in an oversubscribed data center. This unbalanced state of the load in data center can be resolved by migration of virtual networks from overloaded parts of the data center to places where the load is in a lower level. This paper presents implementation details of the prototype of a system that provides virtual networking service in a cloud data center and focuses primarily on virtual network migration as a means for controlling the state of load in data center. Experimental results show that the system has an acceptable performance in reducing the packet loss ratio and keeping the load in a balanced state.
