Hi Luigi,

I remember seeing a talk about this at the 2010 EuroBSDCon in Karlsruhe :
http://2010.eurobsdcon.org/fileadmin/fe_user/klaus/37R5uB.pdf
I'm not sure what happened with this project but also looked interesting
and a live demo was done showing live migration with preserving TCP state,
etc : http://www.7he.at/freebsd/vps/docs/man/vps.9.html
