Hello Fred,

I can include DUID-UUID as an identifier type, and cite RFC 4122. Is this
sufficient, or do I need to also do something related to DHCPv6 DUID?

I did not see any specific connection between this type of identifier and
the RFID discussion.  Is there something that relates the two types?

Regards,
Charlie P.
