	Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize it either that some bridge may be managed 
outside. In this situation, bandwidth setting in xml can cause chaos, so users have to 
be aware of it. On the contrary, if it does not work when setting qos on ovs network 
in xml managed by libvirt, it is also confusing. I will push another patch if we are to 
open this pandora's box.

Beyond that, networks of the type that would end up calling networkStartNetworkVirtual (forward modes 'route' and "nat') don't support using OVS bridges anyway, so this code in networkStartNetworkVirtual and networkShutdownNetworkVirtual will never be executed anyway.

That was my thought too. Although I looked back in the git history and saw that support for setting the bandwidth of forward mode='bridge' (aka "unamanaged bridge network") was added incidentally as a part of decoupling the network driver from the hypervisor drivers:

https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/0a85aad582322034b758f8aa0199641b42be173e

which was a bugfix on top of

https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/42a92ee93d5432ebd9ebfd409903b5287fc7d7ff

So setting the QoS for an unmanaged bridge goes against the original philosophy of that type of network, but we already do it in the case of Linux host bridges. I suppose if someone goes to the effort of adding the extra config to set bandwidth, then they must know that this is going to trash any existing bandwidth setting for the bridge, and are willing to accept that (most likely because they *haven't* set anything directly via OVS).
