Lets assume VM migration happens today (which I am fine to assume - I
am however unsure how frequent live migration takes place and hence
whether its worth to optimize for it).

That said, this assumption alone does not necessarily imply there is a
state migration problem worth to be solved by the IETF. I am missing
statements from VMware engineers (since you mention VMotion) or the
like where they explain how IETF protocol work can help them to make
their migration solutions work even better as they do.
