Part 4 - Node Guidance

Part 4 helps Government program managers, system engineers, and DoD contractors who develop applications and systems to conform to NESI Node guidance. This guidance specifies the criteria for building Nodes and their associated infrastructure in the net-centric environment. NESI considers a Node to be a collection of Components (i.e., systems, applications, services, and other Nodes) which results from the alignment of organizations, technologies, processes, or functions. Potential alignment attributes include management, acquisition, mission, technological, sustainment, spatial, or temporal. A Node enables the sharing of common approaches that support net-centric interoperability. Use Part 4 especially in the system acquisition phase.
