Does anybody have some experience with XEN setting suitable for VPS/VDS hosting?

I am interested in following topics:

1) what type of networking should I use - bridged or routed?
2) are there any security issues when using bridged networking?
3) how to set traffic limit for vif?
4) how to setup shaping on vif?
5) any IP accounting system recomendation?

I am using routed. Traffic shaping is done through Dom0 on two fronts. One, attach qdisc to vif to throttle the incoming traffic which is forwarded to DomU's. Second, attach another classed qdisc on the outgoing eth0 to throttle outgoing traffic. I mark the outgoing packets with a firewall handle, so the qdisc can classify them easily.

For me, the routed approach is simpler (although it did take me a while to setup and automate it) and each DomU's can only use the IP(s) assigned to it.
