Yes,  we emit bandwidth (bytes in/out) on a per VIF basis from each instance 
The event has the somewhat generic name of 'compute.instance.exists'  and is 
emitted on an periodic basis, currently by a cronjob. 
Currently, we only populate bandwidth data from XenServer, but if the hook is 
implemented for  the kvm, etc drivers, it will be picked up automatically for 
them as well. 

Note that we could report other metrics similarly.
