5.3.1. How to Acquire NBP names

NBP names are acquired in one of two ways. The NBP name can be obtained by the user from a list of available services or devices. Typically, a user would select the desired service or device from a displayed list of names. Alternatively, an NBP name can be configured by the user or administrator.

NBP names can vary widely in their naming strategy and in their composition. In the case of obtaining the NBP name from a list, the user should be aware of the implications of selecting a name that does not follow a well-defined naming scheme.
