Abiquo 5.1 enables the user to set a bandwidth limit in a virtual datacenter for each Public IP using Quality of Service (QoS traffic shaping) parameters. This feature applies to public IPs in infrastructure and managed by NSX in vCenter and vCenter clusters. It requires a new privilege to Manage Public bandwidth limit for public IPs. During an upgrade or when you create a virtual datacenter, the new "publicbandwidthlimit" attribute is present but set to 0. You must public IP bandwidth limit is disabled. To use QoS, edit the limit to set a value and value. The platform will apply the value when you deploy or reconfigure a VM to use a public IP in a deployed VM to enable the limit in the virtual datacenter and apply it in the cloud.
To edit the bandwidth limit:
- Select the virtual datacenter and go to Network → QoS
- Click the pencil edit button
- To enable the bandwidth limit in a specific direction, select the Enabled checkbox for that direction
- Set QoS values for each public IP in your virtual datacenter. Be sure to allow enough bandwidth to share between all the NAT IPs in the virtual datacenter.

To register changes that were made outside the platform, save existing NAT bandwidth values. In the API, to register changes, send a POST request with the existing values.
