I would convert bridged setup on host to the routed one. Then you will have several separate interfaces on host, each one used for communication with only one guest and it will be easy to attach tc to them.
In other words, there's no solution for bridged networking?
How would routed networking impact the guest performance? The reason I went for bridged was that it was supposed to have the least overheads and here http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rhel-linux-kvm-virtualization-bridged-networkin... said it was required for servers with multiple network cards. Which is the case here because I have 3 NICs, one each for Internet traffic, networked storage and user access.
Although, admittedly on hindsight, given the number of users in the company, it probably isn't going to be noticeable I would still like to know what kind of impact would it cause. That is assuming routed networking can work on the server given the NICs in it.
