This
service assigns, maintains addressing and naming schemes for entities to be
managed within the enterprise(s). It also includes the support of lookup
services between address and names as well as translation/mapping across
multiple address/naming schemes. Proper implementation of address and naming
services is critical for systems with high point counts (tens of thousands to
millions). Experience has shown that typical implementations of address
and naming management services originally designed for small to moderate point
counts do not scale well.
