I assume, though I've not tried it, that you should be able to use
ordinary Linux mechanisms such as the 'tc(8)' command to enforce a
traffic control and shaping on the vifX.0 devices.
Yes, if you modified the '/etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge' script you
could make it run 'tc' against the vifX.0 devices when bringing up
a guest to give it a fixed data limit.
