What about the methods and results in our NSDI 2005 paper, don't they
tell you what you need?

You can use in tcpdump on an independent machine and log timestamps of
packets send from the migrating domain's IP, in response to fx a
flood-ping.

You can also sync the two machine's clocks using NTP and instrument
the tools to measure timestamp of domain suspend resp. resume.
