<title>Overview</title>
<para>This document describes the Enea Edge and provides installation
steps for deploying a base configuration in order to create:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>A functional Enea Edge Management installation ready to manage uCPE
devices.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>One or several managed uCPE devices, ready to host network
services, using one wired WAN and one wired LAN connection.</para>

<title>Enea Edge</title>
<para>Enea Edge for universal Customer Premise Equipment (uCPE) is a
virtualization and management platform, which allows end-users to onboard,
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 Edge Runtime, which acts as the host
for Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) and provides management over
NETCONF.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The Enea Edge Management, a solution that runs on an external
server, used for VNF Management and managing large numbers of uCPE
devices.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>In addition, Enea Edge includes a framework for
automation and testing. More information can be found in

<section id="nfv_access">
<title>Enea Edge Runtime</title>
<para>Enea Edge Runtime is a lightweight,
multi-architecture virtualization platform built on de-facto standards
in an SDN/NFV ecosystem. It is designed for a high networking
performance with minimal hardware footprint, by only providing relevant
functionalties and technologies.</para>
<para>Virtualization methods include Virtual Machines (KVM / QEMU) and
container(s) (Docker). High networking throughput and low latency are
ensured by accelerated data plane relying on technologies like DPDK,
OVS-DPDK and SR-IOV/PCI-Passthrough. Key functionalities, such as
platform software management, virtualized networking, VNFs life-cycle
management and FCAPS are provided through the YANG-modelled NETCONF
protocol.</para>

<title>Enea Edge Management</title>
<para>The Enea Edge Management is centralized control system providing
uCPEs domain management capabilities through a GUI and REST API. It can
be deployed on a host or a virtual machine running 64-bit CentOS 7 on an
x86 platform. The Enea Edge Management uses a southbound NETCONF protocol
to connect and manage uCPE devices.</para>
