The tunneled mode for migration is built on GNU TLS and is rather slow. Interest moved to NBD (which currently doesn't support any encryption) which is (quite a bit) faster, and the tunneled migration function gets no love.

Likely that any encryption added to NBD will have the same performance degradation.

We are working on nova live-migration using Ceph and trying to work
around the problem where vm migration fails if name resolution is not

We have managed to work around this by setting the flag to include
“VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED”.
However, it is noticebaly slower than non tunnelled.

We were hoping that setting the listen_addr would get libvirt to return
the listen_addr rather than the hostname but virGetHostname in
libvirt/src/util/virutil.c doesn’t have access to the config structure.

I was wondering if libvirt can be patched in a way to return the ip
address of the destination instead of the hostname during migration?
