Added conditional nak on 'design'
There are various factors that influence migration:
1 - VM's memory size
2 - bandwidth to destination
3 - source CPU load
4 - destination CPU load
5 - concurrent migrations (actually this one influence #2 & #3)
Since bandwidth is only one consideration among all the rest, and there can't be 1 migration policy that fits all, we need to come out with few migration policies and let the administrator determine which one to use.
This needs design in both VDSM & RHEVM
regardless QoS on the network we want to improve migration behavior in general aligned with comment #2, see bug 1252426

setting bug 1252426 as Depends On, even though it doesn't really depend on that. QoS could be done independently. One can look at it as part of a general migration improvement, but I don't plan to track it under bug 1252426, so keeping this bug open for further consideration
Following live migration improvements happened on 4.0 and continued on 4.1, we currently don't see a need from the field to prioritize this functionality. please reopen if this still an issue.
