That's because we need to use that particular modified version of libvirt
to implement an exchange of additional messages between the hypervisor and
the network router. We are performing analysis and test to the live
migration executed through a new protocol called LISP, to improve the
network reachability of a VM after the migration.

Since now the two versions of libvirt are the same, what could be the
reason of that error? Could it be due to the different versions of KVM?
