An acceleration system for long distance live migration of virtual machine

We design and implement a live migration acceleration system (LMAS) that supports long distance live migration by using parallel TCP. Our prototype system works perfectly for VMware VMotion and Citrix XenMotion without modifying the hypervisors. Experiments show that LMAS reduces total time of long distance live migration effectively.
