In computing , the proposed Internet Storage Name Service iSNS protocol allows automated discovery, management and configuration of iSCSI and Fibre channel Fibre Channel devices using iFCP gateways on a TCP IP network. Features iSNS provides management services similar to those found in Fibre Channel networks, allowing a standard IP network to operate in much the same way that a Fibre Channel storage area network does. Because iSNS is able to emulate Fibre Channel fabric services and manage both iSCSI and Fibre Channel devices, an iSNS server can be used as a consolidated configuration point for an entire storage network. However, standards compliant iSNS implementations are required to support the iFCP protocol, supporting the iSCSI protocol is optional. Components The iSNS standard defines four components The iSNS Protocol iSNSP is a protocol that specifies how iSNS clients and servers communicate. It is intended to be used by various platforms, including switches and targets as well as server hosts. iSNS Clients iSNS clients are part of iSNSP aware storage devices. iSNS clients initiate transactions with iSNS servers using the iSNSP, register device attribute information in a common Discovery Domain DD , download information about other registered clients and receive asynchronous notification of events that occur in their DD s . iSNS Servers iSNS servers respond to iSNS protocol queries and requests made by iSNS clients using the iSNSP. iSNS servers initiate iSNSP State Change ... protocols Category Storage area networks Category Fibre Channel de Internet Storage Name Service ru Internet Storage Name Service ...

Multiple issues wikify August 2009 primary sources September 2009 orphan February 2009 InternetService Providers Association of Pakistan ISPAK is a non profit organization of InternetService providers of Pakistan . ISPAK was formed in 1997 to act as a platform from which service providers could deal with the regulator, Pakistan Telecommunications Authority PTA . One of the most important achievements of ISPAK was to convince the Government of Pakistan and the incumbent Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd PTCL to implement single pulse metering for dial up Internet, back in 1998. What this meant for the majority of the Internet users was that they only had to pay for one single call even if they remained connected to their ISP dialup account for hours. Local calls are not free in Pakistan and the a multi metering pulse would have meant that dialup users would be charged every three minutes for a new call. ISPAK proactively monitors the regulations introduced by the Regulator PTA and takes steps to ensure that Internet users are provided access to the Internet free of any censorship .
