Limit public IP bandwidths for a VDC

You can use Quality of Service (QoS) traffic shaping parameters to limit the bandwidth for each public IP in a virtual datacenter.  

This feature applies to public IPs in infrastructure and managed by NSX in vCenter and vCenter clusters.

When you upgrade the platform or create a virtual datacenter, the public IPs bandwidth limit is disabled. To enable the limit for the public IPs of the VDC, edit the bandwidth limit. 

To edit the bandwidth limit and enable it in the platform:

1. Select the virtual datacenter and go to Network → QoS
2. Click the pencil edit button 
   1. To set the bandwidth limit in a specific direction, select the Enabled checkbox for that direction
   2. Set QoS values to apply to each public IP in virtual datacenter. This bandwidth will be set for each public IP in the virtual datacenter.

For more details see: 

• GUI Edit Public IPs bandwidth limit
• Limit bandwidth of Public IPs with QoS
  
  

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.
