+======================
+Summary and conclusion
+======================
+
+Resource Reservation and Resource Capacity Management are features to be
+supported by the VIM and exposed to the consumer via the VIM NBI. These
+features have been specified by ETSI NFV.
+
+This document has described several use cases and corresponding high level
+flows where Resource Reservation and Capacity Management are of great benefit
+for the consumer of the virtualised resource management interface: the NFVO or
+the VNFM. The use cases include:
+
+* Notification of changes in capacity in the NFVI
+* Query of available resource capacity
+* Reservation of a resource or set of resources for immediate use
+* Reservation of a resource or set of resources for future use
+
+The Promise project has performed a gap analysis in order to fulfill the
+required functionality. Based on the gap analysis an implementation plan and
+way forward has been proposed, including a possible design architecture and
+high level information model. Immediate next steps of this project is to
+deliver a working Proof-of-Concepts (PoC) and engage upstream communities to
+fill out the gaps identified by Promise.
