That is a perfectly sensible choice of engineID algorithm. It's worked well for many years now.

The first three are tightly linked to the network configuration of the local system. Changes to network hardware (for example) could require a complete re-configuration of your network management systems. > On what basic we need to decide what should be the engine ID type ?
