Measure the service metrics are used to monitor measure and verify
services in the network and to determine if requirements are being met.
Therefore, service metrics must be meaningful to the network operator,

ms round-trip delay, we could use the utility ping and monitor for the
threshold of 40 ms:
For each service level below, describe a service metric that could be
used for measuring the service level, and a corresponding tool or
variable for the metric.
