Abiquo 5.0 enables the user to set a bandwidth in a virtual datacenter for all the NSX NAT IPs in a virtual datacenter with using Quality of Service (QoS traffic shaping) parameters. It
This feature requires a new privilege to Manage NAT bandwidth limit. During  
During an upgrade or when you create a VDCvirtual datacenter, the new "natbandwidthlimit" attribute is present but you must edit the virtual datacenter to enable it in the platform and in the NSX.

To edit the bandwidth limit and apply it in the NSX:

Enabled

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

Average

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

Peak

The maximum bandwidth in bits per second that 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 the existing NAT bandwidth values.
In the API, to register these changes, send a POST request with the existing values.
