If by "control" you mean "throttle the bandwidth", then AFAIK no. As
in, no, cgroups (and thus lxc) can't throttle network I/O.

However since the most common implementation is using veth + bridge,
you should be able to implement traffic shaping using things like "tc"
(or with the help of frontend script "wondershaper") on veth interface
in the host side (i.e. the one you set using lxc.network.veth.pair).

It's not perfect, but a good start.
