Take a look at virtio_net_properties[] in hw/net/virtio-net.c.

These variables/properties are static variables. What I am looking about is

how can I pass a cli option from qemu into virtio-net driver.

I am looking at these options because I would like to implement the throttling to

virtio-net using the throttle APIs that are available in side the qemu.
