1. A computer-implementable method for implementing life support on a network comprising:
monitoring status of Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) implemented neighbor or interconnected devices as to temperature and network level events of the devices;
receiving LLDP attributes from the neighbor or interconnected devices to determine if local or network event has occurred, wherein LLDP attributes include temperatures of, event conditions based on threshold temperatures of, and actions to be taken on neighbor or interconnected devices;
prioritizing devices and services to support a life support if the life support event is determined;
monitoring changes as to the devices and life support event; and
returning to normal operation if the devices and life support are monitored as normal.
