IISP
Interim Inter Switch Protocol:

Interim Link Management Interface: An ATM Forum defined interim specification
for network management functions between an end user and a public or private
network and between a public network and a private network. This is based on a
limited subset of SNMP capabilities.
Induced Uplink
An uplink "A" that is created due to the existence of an uplink "B" in the child peer
group represented by the node that created uplink "A". Both "A" and "B" share the
same upnode, which is higher in the PNNI hierarchy than the peer group in which
uplink "A" is seen.
Inside Link
Synonymous with horizontal link.
Instance ID
A subset of an object's attributes which serve to uniquely identify a MIB instance.
