Performance metrics

Factors

Downtime

Synchronization mechanism, low-bandwidth network

Amount of transferred data

It may be larger than the actual run time data size because there must be some redundancy for Synchronization and protocol

Total migration time

Large amount of data (some pages need to be transferred multiple times because of modification)
