Abstract
Various embodiments provide a method and apparatus for providing migration of cloud components across address domains without the overhead of sending traffic from prior sessions through an anchor. In particular, the networking control plane is decoupled from the packet forwarding data plane using a mobility enablement layer (MEL) that allows creating rules for forwarding elements (FEs) to forward traffic directed to an address within the proper address domain.
