I thought we used to have similar issue with block devices, but I assume it's solved for years (and whoever owns it will take proper file lock, IIRC, and QEMU migration should properly serialize the time window on who's going to take the file lock).

I was thinking that's fine, as the host ports should be the backend of the VM ports only anyway so they don't need to be identical on both sides? IOW, my understanding is it's the guest IP/ports/... which should still be stable across migrations, where the host ports can be different as long as the host ports can forward guest port messages correctly?
