+Live Migration of VM with Virtio on host running vhost_user
+===========================================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+Live Migration of a VM with DPDK Virtio PMD on a host which is
+running the Vhost sample application (vhost-switch) and using the DPDK PMD (ixgbe or i40e).
+
+The Vhost sample application uses VMDQ so SRIOV must be disabled on the NIC's.
+
+The following sections show an example of how to do this migration.
+
+Test Setup
+----------
+
+To test the Live Migration two servers with identical operating systems installed are used.
+KVM and QEMU is also required on the servers.
+
+QEMU 2.5 is required for Live Migration of a VM with vhost_user running on the hosts.
+
+In this example, the servers have Niantic and or Fortville NIC's installed.
+The NIC's on both servers are connected to a switch
+which is also connected to the traffic generator.
+
+The switch is configured to broadcast traffic on all the NIC ports.
+
+The ip address of host_server_1 is 10.237.212.46
+
+The ip address of host_server_2 is 10.237.212.131

+Live Migration steps
+--------------------
+
+The sample scripts mentioned in the steps below can be found in the
+:ref:`Sample host scripts <lm_virtio_vhost_user_host_scripts>` and
+:ref:`Sample VM scripts <lm_virtio_vhost_user_vm_scripts>` sections.
