<para><remark>INFO <emphasis role="bold">eltf_params_updated.xml</emphasis>
contains many parameters in the book, also in the open source books, and
MUST be created FROM <emphasis
role="bold">eltf_params_template.xml</emphasis>. 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
<emphasis role="bold">eltf_params_updated_template_how_to_use.txt</emphasis>
for important details about formats and how to do! The idea is that ELTF
will auto-create/update it.</remark></para>
<para>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:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The Enea NFV Access Run-Time Platform, which acts as the host for
Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) and provides management over
NETCONF.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The Enea uCPE Manager, a solution that runs on an external server,
providing VNF Management functionality and managing large numbers of
uCPEs.</para>

<title>Enea NFV Access Run Time Platform</title>
<para>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.</para>
<para>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.</para>
<para>VNF Runtime Management, orchestration integration, and FCAPS are
provided through EdgeLink NETCONF.</para>

<title>Enea uCPE Manager</title>
<para>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.</para>
<para>Enea uCPE Manager provides the following key features:</para>
