I believe the VMotion software only drops one ping request while it moves it over,
We are about to release in production a large Virtual Farm, from what the IT Guys have told me is that VMotion keeps a history of each machines usage and say it loses some physical resources, and it need 512mb min memory to keep a machine running it would look at say two other vm's and say well you only need 512 and you have 768 I'll take 256 from you and another 256 from another until it gets all its resources back. If it can't find the resources it will shut down a less priority machine to give the resources to high priority apps. All sounds good in theory but I don't think we will be placing too many high profile apps on it till it's a least been running for a year or so.
