I think there are three remaining questions: - When the metrics computation are done? (in which thread?)
Actual calculation is not done by libmetrics itself - it only handles distribution. Calculation is done prior to the calculated values being passed to rte_metrics_update_value*(), so the thread that does the calculation is a decision for the application.
- May the few lines of computation code be done differently when tightly integrated in an application logic?
Yes, since it is the application itself (or in the case of bit-rate, a separate library) that does the calculation.
- Could it be hosted in a separate repository on dpdk.org?
That's part of a broader discussion on how DPDK is packaged.
