8:50 a.m.
For input methods which use nbdkit, we can cheaply add
nbdkit-rate-filter to control input-side network bandwidth. These
options control that filter. We can choose to set the bandwidth
statically and optionally change it dynamically:
--bandwidth 10M
# static bandwidth of 10 Mbps, no dynamic adjustment possible
--bandwidth 5M --bandwidth-file /tmp/bw
# initial static bandwidth of 5 Mbps, adjustable by writing to /tmp/bw
--bandwidth-file /tmp/bw
# no initial bandwidth cap, can be added later by writing to /tmp/bw
It only makes sense to control the input side since virt-v2v writes a
lot less data than it reads.

+Some input methods are able to limit the network bandwidth they will
+use statically or dynamically. In the first variant this sets the
+bandwidth limit statically in bits per second. Formats like C<10M>
+may be used (meaning 10 megabits per second).
+
+In the second variant the bandwidth is limited dynamically from the
+content of the file (also in bits per second, in the same formats
+supported by the first variant). You may use both parameters
+together, meaning: first limit to a static rate, then you can create
+the file while virt-v2v is running to adjust the rate dynamically.
+
+This is only supported for:
