Yea, we pass it over to quantum from our custom network manager so the
quantum plugin we use can set the right qos pool for the port.

The general idea was the larger the instance the larger the "slice" of
bandwidth you should get so in the instance types its specified as a
factor that is multiplied by a rate somewhere (for us that's in the
quantum plugin we are using) to get the eventual cap. In the
non-quantum world that's at
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/network/manager.py#L1208.
I do not belieb the quantum2/api in nova does anything with it yet.

Happy Hacking!
