Are you referring to bandwidth in general (cpu, io, network ...) or just the network ? Lxc is tied with the cgroup. The cgroup provides some controllers to limit the network bandwidth as well as the blkio. The network bandwidth for a container is hard to setup as far as I can see and some experiments to limit the bandwidth wrt the different lxc's network configuration maybe helpful. The first step would be to do that manually and the second step we can integrate in a couple of configuration lines the bandwidth limits for download and upload for the container.
