As the 'vnet' interfaces are virtual network interfaces, there is no 
physical
link speed that can reflect the actual speed. The vnet<->vnet speed, 
that is inter-domain
communication is not limited by the bandwidth of a physical network 
device,  its
only limited by the underlying implementation technology can drive(also 
the system
configuration).   The speed for the vnet<->external network also
doesn't match that of physical device's speed, its because there is some 
additional
overhead that need to be accounted for.  As a result of this, vnet 
driver doesn't really
register a link speed.

I am not sure what you are really comparing with dladm output and
ldm list-bindings, are you  trying to match the link speed of the network
device assigned to a vswitch and then associate it with corresponding 
vnets?
