Note that this is a non-trivial issue by itself. At a *minimum*, you'll need all the checkpoint-restart code. Plus, if the process has any open TCP connections, *those* have to be migrated without causing a security problem. Good luck on figuring out how to properly route packets in this case - consider 4 nodes 10.0.0.1 through 10.0.0.4, you migrate a process from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.3, How do you make sure *that process*'s packets go to 0.3 while all other packets still go to 0.1. Also, consider the impact this may have on iptables, if there is a state=RELATED,CONNECTED on 0.1 - that info needs to be relayed to 0.3 as well. For bonus points, what's the most efficient way to transfer a large process image (say 500M, or even a bloated Firefox at 3.5G), without causing timeouts while copying the image? I hope your research project is *really* well funded - you're going to need a *lot* of people (Hint - find out how many people work on VMWare - that should give you a rough idea)
