In my opinon, this is not somthing that oVirt can (or should) care
about.

The 10G number is what the Windows (or some monitoring tool) reports within the guest.

This is a reasonable fake number, since the vNIC is of virtio type, and it is
capable of such speeds (inside the host). Communication out of the host are
limited by the bottle neck on the way to a destination. This can be the host
vNIC, or a loaded switch on the way.

In my opinion it is not a bug. It's just a fact of life that NIC "speeds"
should not be taken too seriously.

Dan.
