Yes, you can say that out of the per VF <mac, vlan-id, priority, rate> 
tuple I mentioned, except for the mac, the other parameters actually 
belong to the egress flow of the virtual switch port this VF is 
connected to. So the vswitch actually signs the packet with vlan+pbits 
and enforces the rate. Now vswitch can be software based, or hardware 
NIC based.

Now, I assume there may be NICs which will let you configure the 
<vlan-id, priority, rate> as part of the their virtual switch config, 
but others, e.g
the 82576 as an example, and following our discussion, will let you do 
that for the VF, in the VF driver which as you said may run the guest OS 
where we can't control it...

Or.
