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
Bandwith management with macvtap devices does not work with this approach because the macvtap has no queue of its own, instead packets are directly queued to the corresponding ethX device. For this to work it is necessary to create a MAC filter on the ethX with the MAC of the VM. Regards, D.Herrendoerfer
