VMotion Causes 1 Packet Drop during Ping

I just want to validate my config and inquire to see if others are experiencing the same problem. Whenever my VMs perform a host migration (vmotion), I notice a one packet drop whenever I ping the VM during the migration. The migration does complete successfully without noticeable service interruption. Do you guys get the same result?

Also, can a vmotion cause SSH sessions to Linux VMs to drop/disconnect? I have a developer who has SSH sessions to his VM all the time and he reports that his SSH connection drops just around the time I do a vmotion.

Thanks!

a single pack loss is normal during vmoiton, so a disconnect of an SSH session could be coincidental.
