Why VM migration use only 50% network bandwidth?

Hello,

Vsphere 6.7U3, 1Gbit/s network

Why VM migration (compute+storage) use only 50% bandwidth (~500 Mbit/s)?

That is greatly improved in vSphere 7.0.   Meanwhile setup multi nic vMotion or just use 10G.

Is it the same if you migrate only compute? I'm asking to find out if this could be related to the target's storage write speed.

Is this NIC dedicated for migration?
