There is one architectural doubt on Policy Enforcement, which is explained 
below -

When we enforce a policy, we may have to define an associated hysteresis along 
with it. Consider the case for "auto scaling policies" for a VNF or even its 
VNF Component (VNF-C).

The auto scaling policy may be based on CPU consumption thresholds, for example 
-

A) Auto scale the VNF if the CPU consumption spikes and exceeds 70%, three 
times in any given hour (busy hour).

B) Auto scale the VNF, if the CPU consumption exceeds 70% three times in a 
given 24 hour period (1 day).

, and so on.

Hence, unless the above hysteresis evaluates to "true", the policy for 
auto-scaling the VNF should not be enforced.

In the current architecture, even though the policy rules are distributed to 
different ONAP sub-systems for enforcement - how do we plan to handle the 
"gating criteria" (hysteresis) for policies.

Is it expected for individual ONAP subsystems to implement the gating criteria 
evaluation repeatedly for such cases?

There is an element of data mining and time-series analytics involved here to 
evaluate the gating criteria.

Or will this be centralised (Analytics?) and all ONAP subsystems are required 
to "consult" the central gating criteria before actually enforcing policies 
which need hysteresis?

Clarifications will be helpful.
