While UUIDs and Object Identifiers (OIDs) provide unique identifiers, they differ in structure and use. UUIDs are 128-bit identifiers generated usingalgorithmsthat ensure uniqueness without centralized management. Lacking a central authority, they are ideal for scenarios where coordination is complex, s...
