| Description | We would like to increase robustness of the network of self-organised communication reflectors---jSon. Therefore we study Xen hypervisor, live-migration of virtual machines in LAN and extensions of the live-migration to allow for transfers in WAN. We put a communication reflector into a virtual computer and combine all aforementioned principles in one scenario, where each communication reflector maintains its own shadow twin, purpose of which is to replace the original reflector in case of its failure. We discuss advantages and disadvantages of this scenario. We also further develop features of the jSon peers which aid in peer discovery, monitoring and error remedy. |
