Hi Dragos, Eugenio and Si-Wei My name is Lei Yang, a software Quality Engineer from Red Hat. And always paying attention to improving the live migration downtime issues because there are others QE asked about this problem when I share live migration status recently. Therefore I would like to test it in my environment. Before the testing I want to know if there is an expectation of downtime range based on this series of patches? In addition, QE also can help do a regression test based on this series of patches if there is a requirement.
