Comment 5 for bug 1817881

Hi YAMAMOTO Takashi,
Yes, the config will be needed to enable the l3 agent 'self service' metering.
For the REST API, I can image some new idea, for instance:
1. disable one IP's metering.
2. clean one IP's metering data.
3. change one IP's metering frequency (interval).
4. change one IP's report interval.
But yes, this will become more complicated. It is clear to find without these API changes, the IP's metering will be triggered by the fixed settings in l3_agent.ini. But we can let it be the first step of "self service" metering.

And, what's more, maybe we can expand such metering function to L2 agent too. But this will be another story.
Let's handle the L3 IPs metering first.
