Good catch — confirmed. kubevirt-networking.mdx marks live migration support as a tech preview feature (persistent IPs are GA). Fixed in 029d10a: added the (tech preview) heading suffix to match the other tech-preview items in this section, and added a line noting live migration is tech preview and currently requires BGP networking without overlay.


$[prodname] now provides first-class networking for KubeVirt virtual machines, including persistent IP addresses and BGP-aware live migration.
A VM keeps the same IP address across reboots, pod evictions, and live migrations, and $[prodname] uses route priority to steer traffic to the new host as a running VM migrates between nodes without breaking established connections.
In single-rack iBGP deployments this works automatically; in multi-rack or eBGP topologies, you configure `BGPFilter` resources to propagate route priority across AS boundaries.

For more information, see [Calico Enterprise networking for KubeVirt](../networking/kubevirt/kubevirt-networking.mdx) and [BGP routing for KubeVirt live migration](../networking/kubevirt/live-migration-bgp.mdx).
