Introduction

The term "Provisioning" describes the ability to configure a Gateway with "information" that will be sent to its assets when those assets register with the Platform. The information is intended to help set up the asset for connections and communications with its managing Gateway.

GwProvApp (Gateway Provisioning Application) is the entry point for RDK-B middle-ware. It creates the state machine and does all gateway initialisation (eg: DOCSIS initialisation).  It initiates the registration of all services on boot-up. It is responsible for provisioning of LAN, DOCSIS etc.

The GW Provisioning Abstraction defines the abstracted APIs which are called by the gateway provisioning application during initialisation. It provides interfaces to be used for handshaking during DOCSIS initialisation.

gw_prov_abstraction.h file defines the abstracted APIs.
