Labeling and naming

[Kurt Erik Lindqvist <kurtis () kurtis pp se>]

For a project I am currently working on I stumbled upon the following.
What is the best way to lable and name equipment? Although this applies to
all equipment such as SDH ADMs, IP, ATM etc I realised that it seems to be
hardest to find a sensible convention for IP equipment. Preferably I would
like to find a convention that fits all, but I guess that is utopia.

So, since list contains, PTTs, Telcos, ISPs and wannabees is there any
good common scheme or pointers to something useful?
