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 ?

Fernando
