INFO eltf_params_updated.xml contains many parameters in the book, also in the open source books, and MUST be created FROM eltf_params_template.xml. The parameters are automatically used in the books, via xi:include statements, similar to how parameters from pardoc-distro.xml are included in the book. Read the file eltf_params_updated_template_how_to_use.txt for important details about formats and how to do! The idea is that ELTF will auto-create/update it. Enea NFV Access for universal Customer Premise Equipment (uCPE) is a virtualization and management platform, which allows end-users to introduce, instantiate, and run third-party VNFs onto their systems. It is comprised of two major components working in close cooperation: The Enea NFV Access Run-Time Platform, which acts as the host for Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) and provides management over NETCONF. The Enea uCPE Manager, a solution that runs on an external server, providing VNF Management functionality and managing large numbers of uCPEs.

Enea NFV Access Run Time Platform is a lightweight, multi-architecture virtualization platform, supporting Virtual Machines (KVM / QEMU) and container(s) (Docker). Designed for a low footprint and fast boot by only providing essential functionality. The NFV Access virtualized data plane has DPDK and accelerated OVS as its primary components. The data plane is highly optimized for scenarios where high throughput and low latency are needed. VNF Runtime Management, orchestration integration, and FCAPS are provided through EdgeLink NETCONF.

Enea uCPE Manager is a control center application providing a full FCAPS and VNF management experience through a GUI and REST API. It can be deployed on a host or a virtual machine. CentOS and Windows are supported host platforms by default. The uCPE Manager uses a southbound EdgeLink NETCONF protocol to connect and manage uCPE devices. Enea uCPE Manager provides the following key features: VNF On-boarding VNF Management FCAPS Zero Touch Provisioning Alarms / Events management and monitoring
