Object Exchange (OBEX)

A session-layer protocol for object exchange originally developed by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA) as IrOBEX. Its purpose is to support the exchange of objects in a simple and spontaneous manner over an infrared or Bluetooth wireless link.

Object Identifier (OID)

The object identifiers or OIDs are defined in the Structure of Management Information (SMI) for SNMP (RFC1065). Object identifiers define the structure of all objects defined in a tree format. All names of objects have corresponding numbers. For example, the path to SNMP objects is represented in the following two ways as an OID: iso.org.dod.internet or 1.3.6.1. OIDs can be represented as all text, all numeric, or a combination of both.
