Consider using management tools like libvirt that handle tc and friends
for you.  The domain XML is interfacebandwidthinbound and
outbound.

Back to the question, are you looking for ingress qdiscs?

This is a standard tc question, not related to virtualization.  You may
get better help from Linux networking mailing lists or IRC channels.

How to limit upload bandwidth for a guest server?

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello all:

I have a CentOS server using KVM to host guest servers.
I am trying to limit the bandwidth usable by a guest server.

I tried to use tc, but that is only limiting the download bandwidth
to a server.  It does not seem to filter packets uploaded by the
server.

Is there a tool to limit upload traffic for a guest server?

Thanks,
  Neil
