Dummynet can provide bandwidth restriction as well as msec-granularity
delays on packets being pushed through a pipe.  You can glue together
multiple pipes (packets go through several pipes with different
characteristics).

I'm not sure what your virtual machines need to do so I can't comment
whether FreeBSD would be useable.

Should be OK

FreeBSD doesn't have SuSE clients but should be able to run them in
its Linux emulation layer.
