Abiquo 5.0 enables the user to limit the bandwidth of NSX NAT IPs with Quality of Service (QoS). When you first create a virtual datacenter, the NAT bandwidth limit is disabled.
This feature will enable you to edit a virtual datacenter with NAT and configure QoS (Traffic Shaping) by setting NAT bandwidth values. It requires a new privilege to Manage NAT bandwidth limit.
To edit the bandwidth limit and apply it in the NSX:
- Select the virtual datacenter and go to Network → QoS
- Click the pencil edit button and set values for your virtual datacenter's NAT network
During an upgrade or when you create a VDC, the new "natbandwidthlimit" attribute is present but you must edit the VDC to enable it in the NSX.
To register changes that were made outside the platform, save the existing NAT bandwidth values. In the API, you can do this with a POST request using the existing values.
Limitations
The bandwidth limit is shared by all the NAT IPs configured in the Edge for the virtual datacenter, so you should make sure you allow sufficient bandwidth for all NAT IPs in the virtual datacenter.
