Once upon a time, I thought it would be important to register an enterprise number with IANA. I had grandiose ideas of creating immense MIBs, namespaces, schema, etc. (i.e. for SNMP). I was young and ideologic; I didn't have clue one about what content would go into those schema. Still, I registered enterprise numbers because I knew I could. In a brief fit of nostalgia, I looked them up at http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers/:

If you too would like to register an enterprise number with IANA, you can do so here:

I highly recommend, though, that you do so only if you plan to do something with it. I never did and it serves as a reminder to me that planning is crucial to achieving my goals. At least, in that context, those numbers serve some small purpose.
