hi all

want to limit the network bandwidth of each VM , i come across libvirt xml format option
:
<forward mode='nat' dev='eth0'/>
<bandwidth>
<inbound average='1000' peak='5000' burst='5120'/>
<outbound average='128' peak='256' burst='256'/>
</bandwidth>to limit the bandwidth of each vm , however i have a question how
does these option applied limit on kvm vm ? through using of linux cgroub or its a qemu
network bandwidth limit functionality ?
This is currently implemented per nic calling set of 'tc' commands to
construct some structure that in the end limits the traffic through nic
as requested. If you want to get your hands dirty you may look over this:
