Title:
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING BETWEEN VIRTUAL MACHINES, SOCKET API WRAPPER LIBRARY, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/064411
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a system that closely links virtual machines upon a virtual machine monitor.  The system facilitates rapid communication between virtual machines comprising response agents, without changing the operating systems or applications that run on the virtual machines.  Also provided is a device for communicating between virtual machines, which, when a plurality of virtual machines (201 – 203) are caused to run upon a common virtual machine monitor (100), communicates between the virtual machines (201 – 203).  A socket API wrapper library (socket wrapper) (501) upon the virtual machine (201) comprises a communications channel administration unit (510), which administers the communications channels provided by the virtual machine monitor (100), and a response agent unit (520), which responds to communications between the virtual machines via the communications channels.
