Hi Michal,

Thanks for the analysis, please find the interface details of the dumpxml $dom

  <interface type='network'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:4f:8d:cd'/>
      <source network='default'/>
      <target dev='vnet0'/>
      <bandwidth>
        <inbound average='10'/>
      </bandwidth>
      <alias name='net0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

Regards,
Vikrant

I don't think so. So your other values are set to 0? Can you share the actual <bandwidth/> element from 'virsh dumxpl $dom'?

However, I might be hitting the same issue:

# tc -s class show dev vnet0
class htb 1:1 root leaf 2: prio 0 rate 80000bit ceil 80000bit burst 1600b cburst 1600b
 Sent 5146972 bytes 3540 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 rate 536752bit 45pps backlog 0b 4p requeues 0
 lended: 359 borrowed: 0 giants: 0
 tokens: -937499999 ctokens: -937499999

class sfq 2:36c parent 2:
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 backlog 103018b 4p requeues 0
 allot 1520

We can see both rate and ceil being 80kbit however the current rate being 536kbit. I wonder what's going on and how to fix this.
