.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP 
Native CMPIInstance implementation. 

This is the native CMPIInstance implementation as used for remote providers. It reflects the well-defined interface of a regular CMPIInstance, however, it works independently from the management broker.
.PP
It is part of a native broker implementation that simulates CMPI data types rather than interacting with the entities in a full-grown CIMOM.
