"Bond 0+1" is the name-label of the network that the VIF is connected
to. From the data source name vif_0_tx, you can tell that this is the
VIF on the VM with device 0. So you can do 'xe vif-list vm-uuid=<blah>
device=0 params=network-name-label --minimal', which will then give you
"Bond 0+1".

If you're using the XenAPI directly, you'll have to do a little more
work than the above xe command, but that should get you started.
