      What were you trying to do that didn't work?
      Ping operation is always executed when SA/CNV folks do the migration POC to the customers (Ping the IP of the virtual machine on the source host to check that the virtual machine network will not be affected by the migration). They find that there are some ping packets lost during precopy/postcopy

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      How reproducible:
      100%

      Steps to reproduce
      The CNV mate migrated one VM in one cluster 10 times, and checked the ping packet loss during migration (ping the VM ip on the source host). Found some ping packet loss in both precopy and postcopy.
      Some customers complain of the ping packet loss problem. 

       
      When using the default ping interval of 1 second, from the SSA team's feedback, no packet loss on VMware and Yunhong (a Chinese manufacturer based on KVM packaging)
      Some customer scenarios are carrier-grade networks with very strict requirements for communication quality.
      None of the competing products lost packets, but our product did, which seriously affected the sales progress of SSA among customers. 
      The SSA team hopes that we can solve the packet loss problem at the code level, which is of great significance for promoting the project
