This patch series add support for setting traffic shaping and policing on both domain's interface and network's virtual bridge. Basically, this is done via 'tc' from iproute2 package. For shaping is HTB used, for policing we need u32 match selector. Both should be available in RHEL-6 kernel.
How this works: On an virtual interface which has limits defined a root qdisc are replaced. Ingress root for outbound traffic shaping and egress for inbound. Basically, in inbound traffic policing is applied, on outbound shaping.
Okay, this should work http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-japan/horman OpenVSwitch offers both egress and ingress and based on Horman feedback in slides it wasn't a good idea to use ingress (i.e. traffic shaping) for inbound but egress was fine (see slides from 18)
New qdiscs are set to limit the traffic to rate set in XML. For shaping it is possible to set the size of buffer. Accepted values for rate, peak and burst have same format as 'tc' command and are documented.
Supported devices are VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK, VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_BRIDGE and VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_DIRECT.
diff to v1: -rebase to current HEAD -add support for macvtap devices
