Hello Yaniv.
Yes that exactly the bonding hash I am using layer3+4.
I have another server where I run simple libvirt/KVM in a similar scenario
e it does balance the traffic well between all physical interfaces on the
host as there are many individual connections to the VM.
But my question was if there was anything that hard limit any VM traffic
to 1Gb unless you change and also what the speed the is shown on the
interface is related to ? 1Gb, 10Gb or if you can set that specifically ?
Nope, no limit. It's just when virtio was invented they needed to give it
some speed (to show in Windows, ethtool, etc.) and 1Gb seemed like a good
nice number. It's not enforced anywhere.

To the external network, you cannot easily achieve >1Gb, unless you open
multiple connections that will go over multiple physical NICs. It depends
on the bond hashing policy. layer3+4 might make it easier to achieve. This
is not very different than a connection from the host. (I think UDP should
be easier, but it's less interesting?)
VM to VM traffic should easily overcome 1Gbps.
