The IP address of the host is different, but the IP address seen by the
guest is the same. Live migration has been possible for several years
with qemu, and people do it all the time. The guest sees very minimal
downtime (a few milliseconds). If you use a higher-layer software, like
libvirt, then triggering a live migration of a guest is quite easy.
