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.

Yes, since it is the application itself (or in the case of bit-rate, a
separate library) that does the calculation.

That's part of a broader discussion on how DPDK is packaged.
