		506	An object identifier (OID) is an extensively used identification mechanism
		507	jointly developed by <a href="http://www.itu.int/ITU-T">ITU-T</a> and
		508	<a href="http://www.iso.org">ISO</a>/<a href="http://www.iec.org">IEC</a>
		509	for naming any type of <a href="faq.htm#2">object, concept or "thing"</a>
		510	with a globally unambiguous name which requires a persistent name (long
		511	life-time). It is not intended to be used for transient naming. OIDs,
		512	once allocated, should not be re-used for a different object/thing.<br><br>It is based on a hierarchical name structure based on the "<a href="faq.htm#16">OID
		513	tree</a>". This naming structure uses a sequence of names, of which
		514	the first name identifies a top-level "node" in the OID tree,
		515	and the next provides further identification of arcs leading to sub-nodes
		516	beneath the top-level, and so on to any depth.<br><br>A critical feature of this identification mechanism is that it makes
		517	OIDs available to a great many organizations and specifications for
		518	their own use (including countries, ITU-T Recommendations, ISO and IEC
		519	International Standards, specifications from national, regional or international
