These are 128 bit numbers assigned to any object within a DCE cell which is guaranteed to be unique.

There is a reference in the UUID to the hardware address of the first network card on the host which generated the UUID – this reference is intended to ensure the UUID will be unique in space as the MAC address of every network card is assigned by a single global authority and is guaranteed to be unique. (Alternate addresses might be a problem here, but the author has not tested creating a UUID on a machine with an alternate address set) The next component is a timestamp which, as DCE always moves clocks forward, will be unique in time.Just in case some part of the above goes wrong, there is a random component placed into the U
