[IH] when migrating a guest to another host, migration takes care of closing/opening of the VMChannel on the target host. The VMChannel is local to the hypervisor, not accessible via network. Migration is not an issue requiring the VMChannel to use TCP/IP. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
