IISP's intent is to create an easy to use summary of responses to IISP Needs that will provide an information mosaic describing the relevant standards activities. Serviceability is an important reliability consideration that should be added. Most of these are focused on maintaining network operation when a node fails. The IEEE 802.1 spanning tree algorithm allows for redundant paths between LAN's. Network management greatly enhances serviceability.
Network management provides for observation and control.
This work relates to user mobility within a switched private network. Requirement - Software Installation Services Software Installation services are included in the IEEE PASC Systems Administration project, See IEEE Std. Application to Application Requirement - Applications Software Portability IEEE's 1003.x series of standards provides for operating systems interfaces for applications portability. IEEE also has security work in the PASC group, dealing with security extensions for operating system interfaces. Definitions of managed objects allow network management to provide additional protections though monitoring and control.
