The *host_resource* measurement measures the wholesale host resources available to the platform that can be allocated to media services.
network_config measures the overall capacity of the network available to the platform for allocation to tenants. There are currently no metrics defined for this in the FLIPS monitoring specification, although we can envisage usage metrics such as bandwidth being part of this measurement.

network_interface_config measures the connection bewteen a compute node and a network along with any constaints on that connection.

NAP multicast metrics that require further understanding although NAPs contribution towards understanding the source of requests is important in decisions regarding the placement of surrogates. The following fields require some clarification:

SF Host Resource Measurements measures the host resources allocated to a service function deployed by the platform. All measurements have the following global tags to allow the data to be sliced and diced according to dimensions.
network config is concerned with any network io allocation/constraints for network rx/tx. Possible fields (but these are not available from the FLIPS monitoring specification)
The FLAME platform acquires a slice of the infrastructure resources (compute, RAM & storage [C1, C2, C3] and networking). A media service provider offers an MPEG-DASH service to end-users (via their video clients connected to NAPs on the FLAME platform). The service provider deploys surrogates of the MPEG-DASH service on all compute nodes [C1-C3]. All services (including NAPs) are monitored by the CLMC.
Over time a growing number of video clients use a MPEG-DASH service to stream movies on demand. As clients connect and make requests, the platform makes decisions and takes actions in order to maintain quality of service for the increasing number of clients demanding an MPEG-DASH service.
