Does Fedora 8 have any way to limit the network speed on the guests?
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.
To be honest, it's a bit of an unusual request: mostly people complain
about not getting enough network performance :-)
