Thanks Jay for pointing this out.

Adnan,

Yeah - you could use PcP - if that module gets integrated with Nova.

For your benefit, here are some of the metrics that PcP can provide 
related to the physical NIC:

pminfo | grep network.interface  <== Listing the available metrics.
network.interface.collisions
network.interface.mtu
network.interface.speed
network.interface.baudrate
network.interface.duplex
network.interface.up
network.interface.running
network.interface.inet_addr
network.interface.ipv6_addr
network.interface.ipv6_scope
network.interface.hw_addr
network.interface.in.bytes
network.interface.in.packets
network.interface.in.errors
network.interface.in.drops
network.interface.in.fifo
network.interface.in.frame
network.interface.in.compressed
network.interface.in.mcasts
network.interface.out.bytes
network.interface.out.packets
network.interface.out.errors
network.interface.out.drops
network.interface.out.fifo
network.interface.out.carrier
network.interface.out.compressed
network.interface.total.bytes
network.interface.total.packets
network.interface.total.errors
network.interface.total.drops
network.interface.total.mcasts


# pmval network.interface.out.bytes <== A sample metric value.
metric:    network.interface.out.bytes
host:      <my_host>
semantics: cumulative counter (converting to rate)
units:     byte (converting to byte / sec)
samples:   all

As you might observe, there's a plenty for you to draw inferences.

Hope this helps!
