Debian OID hierarchy

Abstract

For a number of protocols it is necessary to have an IANA enterprise number. This document describes how the enterprise number assigned to Debian is used, and how to request assignments with the Debian enterprise space.

Introduction

Debian has been assigned private enterprise number 9586 by IANA. (The full list of assignments is available at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers>.) This number is used as the base for a hierarchy in the OID space for SNMP and X.500/LDAP as well as for other protocols such as RADIUS.

Packages and projects may request an entry in the Debian enterprise space by contacting debian-admin. An application has to have the following information:
