Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

Michal Privoznik 2996e6be19 networkAllocateActualDevice: Set QoS for bridgeless networks too
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1055484

Currently, libvirt's XML schema of network allows QoS to be defined for
every network even though it has no bridge. For instance:

<network>
    <name>vdsm-no-bridge</name>
    <forward mode='passthrough'>
      <interface dev='em1.10'/>
    </forward>
    <bandwidth>
        <inbound average='1000' peak='5000' burst='1024'/>
        <outbound average='1000' burst='1024'/>
    </bandwidth>
</network>

The bandwidth limitations can be, however, applied even on such
networks. In fact, they are going to be applied on the interface that
will be connected to the network on a domain startup. This approach,
however, has one limitation. With bridged networks, there are two points
where QoS can be set: bridge and domain interface. The lower limit of
the two is enforced then. For instance, if the interface has 10Mbps
average, but the network only 1Mbps, there's no way for interface to
transmit packets faster than the 1Mbps limit. With two points this is
enforced by kernel.  With only one point, we must combine both QoS
settings into one which is set afterwards. Look at
virNetDevBandwidthMinimal() and you'll understand immediately what I
mean.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
