Actually CFME does not know anything about this optimization. It is virt-v2v
starting the transfer on the same host it is running on.

Why? is this something that we can improve in ovirt?

test it I had to build virt-v2v on the RHV node (running RHEL 7) which
was quite complicated.

Do you mean both using https and unix socket?
Yes.
