[SAGE] Naming conventions for servers, network gear, etc.

["Mark R. Lindsey" <lindsey@acm.org>]

Have there been any papers done on naming conventions for servers,  
network gear, etc?

E.g., when is it better to call it "core-router-bwg" versus  
"juniperm10i" versus "router1"?

Or "server1" versus "dns1" versus "franko"?

There are a few obvious up-sides and down-sides of different schemes.  
But has anybody really dug in and written them down?

If not, I'd be interested in writing a paper on this with somebody  
for USENIX or SAGE. If you're interested in working with me on it,  
let me know.
