Overview#

Name (NAME) depends on the context.

Name is an Identifier or Attribute of an Entity.

It has been said that the principal function of an operating system is to define a number of different Names for the same object, so that it can busy itself keeping track of the relationship between all of the different names. Network protocols seem to have somewhat the same characteristic. — David D. Clark, 1982
