AFAIK, tc works on physical device queues. Thus having virtual devices over the same physical interface will not let the virtual devices be freed of control. You must use src/dst options. Instead of attaching to virtual devices, it might be better to do it using subnets whereby you do not have to give too many rules for matching src/dst ips.
