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 requires a new privilege to Manage Public bandwidth limit. During an upgrade or when you create a virtual datacenter, the new "publicbandwidthlimit" attribute is present but set to 0. You must edit the limit to set a value and 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 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.
