3) Similarly for macvtap<network>s, will the network-wide bandwidth limiting be applied to the physical ethernet device? This would have the side effect of including host traffic on that interface in the bandwidth totals, but I don't see a way around it. With this patch as-is, shaping rules are applied only when creating TAP devices. This mean only network types VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK and VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_BRIDGE.
We really need to support VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_DIRECT (macvtap) as well. It also uses a tap device.
4) Finally on that topic, what about<network>s that have a pool of physical ethernets to be used macvtap-style? Is there any way we can do bandwidth limiting on an aggregated collection of network interfaces? Or will attempts to configure this necessarily result in a "config not supported" log message? Huh, I didn't know it is possible to have a pool of devices within one <network>. So in this case, this patch silently does nothing.
It isn't possible, yet. :-)
