The Solution: Mobile Servers
Servers are written in Java:
- write once, run anywhere;
- can migrate to any network component running JVM+MCT.
Communication server allowed to migrate.
Utilization netlet circulates through network:
- measures resource consumption on network component;
- interacts with DPI-enabled VMC for resource measurements;
- returns to server component periodically in order to make migration decision.
Migration infrequent as:
- complex, expensive process;
- want to avoid oscillatory behaviour.
