IPXnimitys
IPXnimitys is a term used in Finnish information technology to describe the designation or naming of IPX-related identifiers within network configurations. The name combines IPX, the legacy network protocol used historically with Novell NetWare, and nimitys, meaning designation or naming in Finnish. It is not a protocol or standard, but a documentation and administration practice intended to improve readability and maintenance of IPX-based networks.
In practice, IPXnimitys encompasses guidelines for labeling SAP names, network numbers, node addresses, and service identifiers.
History and current status: IPX remains a legacy technology, with its use waning as IP-based networks dominate.
Example (illustrative): a label such as NET-01-NS1 could designate a NetWare server on network 1, with NS1
