Method of controlling a virtual machine, information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An information processing apparatus configured to run a first virtual machine and a second virtual machine, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• detect that the second virtual machine is in a suspended state, store one or more first packets into a first buffer during the suspended state,
• input the one or more first packets stored in the first buffer into the second buffer after the suspended state is ended,
• generate one or more second packets by replicating the one or more first packets input from the first buffer to the second buffer,
• transmit the one or more first packets stored in the second buffer to the first virtual machine, and
• transmit the one or more second packets to the second virtual machine.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes an information processing apparatus to execute a process, the information processing apparatus being configured to run a first virtual machine and a second virtual machine, the process comprising:

• detecting that the second virtual machine is in a suspended state;
• storing one or more first packets into a first buffer during the suspended state;
• inputting the one or more first packets stored in the second buffer into a first buffer after the suspended state is ended;
• generating one or more second packets by replicating the one or more first packets input from the first buffer to the second buffer;
• transmitting the one or more first packets stored in the first buffer to the first virtual machine;
• and
• transmitting the one or more second packets to the second virtual machine.
