Abstract

SockMi is a solution for the migration of TCP/IP connections between Linux systems. Only the migrating peer of the connection needs to reside on a Linux system. The migration is completely transparent to the other peer that can reside on a system running any operating system. Our solution does not require changes to existing Linux kernel data structures and algorithms and can be activated in any phase of the connection. Both 2.4 and 2.6 versions of the Linux kernel are supported.
