Resource capacity management message flow: notification of capacity change
-Figure 2 shows a high level flow for a use case of resource capacity
+:numref:`figure2` shows a high level flow for a use case of resource capacity
management. In this example, the VIM notifies the NFVO of capacity change after
having received an event regarding a change in capacity (e.g. a fault
notification) from the NFVI. The NFVO can also retrieve detailed capacity
information using the Query Capacity Request interface operation.

Resource capacity management message flow: query of capacity density
-Figure 3 shows a high level flow for another use case of resource capacity

-a VM according to a certain flavor. In this case the VIM responds with the
-number of VMs that could be instantiated according to that flavor with the
