[pve-devel] adding live migration options ? (xbzlre, compression, ...)

the kvm forum slides, they said that with compression, the migration is slower 
on 10gbit network.

Currently we don't have implemented live migration compress. (it's a new feature from qemu 2.4)


I'll make a basic patch to enable compression, and will do some benchmark with 10gbe network.

I think those are special cases, and it is always better to enable compression, 
because 
it reduces traffic on the network. But do we already use lz4?
