Abstract

The introduction of virtualization and the expansion of scale in data center result in sharp consumption of MAC address, ich also expose some weakness in MAC address such as inefficient allocation scheme, and one-dimensional address structure, among others. Varieties of solutions are proposed by researchers who attempt to solve above limitation in traditional MAC address. However, none of those approaches is optimum for hosts' MOOSE ID distribution. In this paper, we present a host address assignment scheme termed Host Moose Address Auto-allocation (HMAA) based on Moose Mac address. Host active sends initiate the application of Moose Mac address allocation to the home switch in our scheme. We make some experimental simulations to study performance of our scheme, and the simulation result shows that our scheme is feasible and effective.
