Yes, but that I think would end up more on the "internal" resource limiting 
side (like CPU resource limiting which I already cited, but IO/RAM/etc. could 
be equally important of course).

Well, I did not mean to do that *inside* GlusterFS, only to facilitate it by 
modifying GlusterFS *external* behaviour.

If you limit the scope of the RFE to network bandwidth limiting (for this RFE, 
the other points you made above still being important as you noted, but maybe 
could be the object of a dedicated RFE), maybe having dedicated and 
configuration-specified ports for the outgoing heal/rebalance/etc traffic could 
allow external OS-level tools to apply QoS policy, and I suppose that every 
sysadmin can apply that policy by its own with specific OS tools (like tc on 
Linux, on BSD I don't know, unfortunately)
