+Purpose
+=======
+
+- The purpose of these requirements is to accelerate adoption of xNF best
+ practices which will increase innovation, minimize customization needed to
+ onboard xNFs as well as reduce implementation complexity, time and cost
+ for all impacted stakeholders.
+- This initial release consolidates the requirements from Open-O and OpenECOMP
+ to provide common xNF requirements across the industry in order to drive
+ interoperability, simplify management, and reduce cost to build, deploy and
+ manage xNFs.
+- These requirements serve multiple purposes:
+ - Primarily it provides a detailed list of requirements for xNF
+ providers to meet to be compatible with ONAP; xNF providers will use
+ the xNF requirements to build VNFs/PNFs that are compatible with ONAP
+ - It can also serve as a list of requirements that service providers can
+ use in RFPs for selecting VNFs/PNFs
+ - It will also be used as a basis for testing and certification of
+ xNFs for compliance with ONAP; ONAP projects such as the VNF
+ Validation Project will uses these xNFs requirements to build test
+ cases to validate xNFs for compliance with ONAP.
