Uniform Resource Names for Device Identifiers
RFC 9039, “Uniform Resource Names for Device Identifiers”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2021 by J. Arkko, C. Jennings, Z. Shelby. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a new Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace for hardware device identifiers. A general representation of device identity can be useful in many applications, such as in sensor data streams and storage or in equipment inventories. A URN-based representation can be passed along in applications that need the information.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
