Field

Description

Enabled

To enable traffic shaping in a specific direction, select this checkbox

Average

The average amount of bandwidth, in bits per second, that each public IP in the virtual datacenter can use

Peak

The maximum bandwidth in bits per second that each public IP in the virtual datacenter can use

Burst size

The amount of data that can be transmitted at the peak bandwidth rate in bytes. A burst bonus accumulates when traffic is below the Average value and this bandwidth can be used for bursts

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

This feature sets the limits when you deploy or reconfigure a VM to use a public IP. If you deploy a VM and the platform cannot configure the limit, then the deploy will fail and roll back. If you reconfigure a VM and try to add a public IP, and the limit fails, then the platform will roll back the reconfigure and delete the public IP address. If you are working with multiple VMs and there are different switches involved, then the platform will make a best effort to update all of the VMs, and log any errors.
