Host Migration specification in SDN networks


Abstract in English

In this paper we introduce a specification model for the host migration process in Software Defined Network, and for verifying the reachability property for packets that do not change after the migration, and achieve the required modifications to meet the same properties. The model is designed by TLA+ language and verified by TLC which is correlated with it. The model is implemented by few states to meet the required property.
