That's because, as Mark said, you're attached to a virtual device, and the "speed" doesn't have much meaning. Any data flowing Linux to Linux within the same vswitch could flow much faster than a gigabit, but data flowing out the physical port is limited by the connection on that port. The virtual NIC is only indirectly related to the physical port.
