MUST be created FROM <emphasis

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

<para>Enea NFV Access seeks to demonstrate a means for which a Network
Functions Virtualization architecture can be created and managed
effectively, suited to your custom needs. It accomplishes this task
by teaming two key products together: NFV Access and the uCPE Manager.
For evaluation purposes, it also includes VNF examples.</para>
<para>The purpose of Enea NFV Access is the evaluation of the following
features:</para>

<title>Enea NFV Access</title>
<para>Enea NFV Access 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>
