I can confidently say that throttling will work with KVM. I think both
virt_types will work since libvirt is controlling everything in the end.

One caveat about IO throttling to keep in mind is that the Nova settings
are not applied to volumes -- just the root and ephemeral disk. We were
unable to verify if IO throttling through Cinder worked due to this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1362129

For bandwidth, I want to say that it is agnostic to nova-network and
Neutron since it happens at the libvirt layer, but I am not 100% sure as
I've never tested the settings on both.

It's safe to test these settings live (IMO). If you figure out the correct
"virsh" commands to use to apply the settings, you can run them directly on
the compute node against a test instance and no other instances will be
affected.

Hope that helps,
Joe
