Described herein is a system and method of connectivity migration of an executing virtual application and/or guest operating system. State associated with a first instance of an application and/or a guest operating system executing on a first virtual machine is captured. Information regarding connectivity state associated with a plurality of running connections between the first virtual machine and client device(s) is also captured (e.g., layers 2, 3 and 4). The captured state information can be provided to a second virtual machine which utilizes the captured station information to establish state for a second instance of the application, a second instance of the guest operating system, and/or connectivity of the plurality of running connections between the second virtual machine and client device(s). The state of the second instance of the application can be synchronized with the state of the second instance of the guest operating system.
