+    By default, libvirtd uses ports from 49152 to 49215 for live-migration
+    as specified in qemu.conf, that becomes a subset of ephemeral ports
+    (from 32768 to 61000) used by many linux kernels.
+    The issue here is that these ephemeral ports are used for outgoing TCP
+    sockets. And live-migration might fail, if there are no port available
+    from the specified range.
+    Moving the port range out of ephemeral port range to be used only for
+    live-migration.
