I forgot to mention that I am using qemu-kvm-0.12.3 on all of my machines. I am also using bridged networking on all hosts. Is anyone else on the list doing life migration and is facing the same problems I mentioned below? I would really like to debug this further but I need some assistance on how to proceed.
