Do not complain about insufficient migration rate if you use a 1 GBit network card!
Do your Mathematic Obligations and check your network for performance prior to DMO.

P.S. Sorry, yes, the blog above is short and rude, but I had to draw your attention on the network side of housekeeping:
You have to check the network performance before starting with DMO: check the througput between source DB and PAS (on which SUM and R3load processes are running), and between PAS and target DB. One network tool that I am aware of is iPerf: "iPerf3 is a tool for active measurements of the maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks." (http://iPerf.fr). But even ftp can provide a first insight: transfer a large file, and check the throughput. Measurements like this can detect a wrong configuration of network cards, a transfer limitation due to firewalls, or other hurdles.
And network card size matters! Using a 1 Gbit network card means a maximum throughput of 439 GB / hour theoretically, practically ~ 350 GB / hour. [The math is: 1 Gbit card means 1000 MBits per second, this is 125 MByte per second, this is 439 GB per hour.] DMO can do more, if you let it ... see Optimizing DMO Performance So you should rather use a 10 Gbit network card.
Feel free to add your favorite network tool as comment for this blog.
