Abstract

This paper presents design and a prototype implementation of a network interface which may keep communication between processes during process migration and it may be used instead of the well-known socket interface. It is implemented in the user-space, and the TCP/IP is applied for internal communication what guarantees relatively high performance and portability. This new socket library (called msocket ) is developed for efficient dynamic load balancing by the process migration.
