+# Debian OID hierarchy
+
+## Abstract
+
+For a number of protocols it is necessary to have an IANA enterprise number.
+This document describes how the enterprise number assigned to Debian is used,
+and how to request assignments with the Debian enterprise space.
+
+## Introduction
+
+Debian has been assigned private enterprise number 9586 by IANA.
+(The full list of assignments is available at [http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers](http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers).)
+This number is used as the base for a hierarchy in the OID space for SNMP and
+X.500/LDAP as well as for other protocols such as RADIUS.
+
+## Requesting enterprise space
+
+Packages and projects may request an entry in the Debian enterprise space by
+contacting debian-admin. An application has to have the following information:
+
+* Name of the package or project
+* Contact person and address
+* Type usage (SNMP, X.500/LDAP, RADIUS, etc.)
+* Section of OID space to be used. The OID space is currently divided in two sections:
+ * package: A section for Debian usage
+ * project: A section that is also used outside of Debian
+
+## OID Assignments
+
+The root of the OID space is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9586 or iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.Debian.
+
+As of March 2009 this wiki page at http://dsa.debian.org/iana is the
+authoritative source of Debian OID information.
