When I trigger the live snapshot while pinging the guest I get the
following high latency but no packet loss:

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.228/1037.547/10375.035/2535.522 ms, pipe 11

So the guest is in some sort of paused mode, but its interesting that the
pings seems to be queued rather than dropped.
