One of the goals for R4 is to allow users to design closed loops for different resources in the service model. For example, a user may create a closed loop to scale a VF module in/out according to traffic load and another closed loop to change the configuration of a VNF according to traffic patterns. To do so, we propose to enhance CLAMP in the following way:

• The Target Type list shall contain different types, such as VNF, VF Module, VM, and PNF. VM and PNF may not be supported in R4 (under investigation);
• The Target ResourceID list should list all the available options in the service model for a given target type.
