High latencies when migrate using Distributed switches.

Hi everyone, first of all, sorry if i have bad english, i'm spanish.
I'm having problems when trying to migrate vms using distributed Switches. I have configured a PortGroup in one Distributed Switch for MGMT-IPStorage (Standard Switches are empty)

I've created a VMKernel in standard switch and bind the iSCSI Provider to that VMkernel to use the Standard Switch instead of Distributed Switch and everything is fine, i've tested 10 migrations without latencies.

Why is the Distributed switch's migrations going bad? Why is generating that latencies (100ms - 500ms) (most times, not always) ?

Hope you can help me!

Thanks a lot.

PSDT: I'll bring you some screenshots for you to see my configuration

THIS IS A WHOLE NESTED ENVIRONMENT (DvFilter implemented).

Hi Borja,

How did measure the latencies between the source and the destination ?

Hi vSohill!, Thanks for the reply.

With the performance monitor of vSphere and with esxtop. I have to say that this is a whole nested environment.
