Doc Text:	Feature: Expose qemu capabilities for auto-convergence and XBZRLE page delta compression. Reason: Reduce VM downtime and improve convergence during migration. Result: It is now possible to specify whether the auto-convergence and/or migration compression features should be used during VM live migration. This is supported by hierarchical configuration in 3 levels: global (engine-config), cluster and VM. Details: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/XBZRLE_and_Auto-Convergence	Story Points:	---

Description Martin Betak 2014-10-09 11:51:55 UTC

Take advantage of new libvirt migration parameters introduced in RHEL 7.1

Auto-convergence helps live migration converge when the guest is dirtying pages too fast for the network throughput.

XZBRLE feature compresses same memory pages, speeding up migration for gests with many similar/identical pages.
