An object ID is a unique unsigned thirty-two bit
entity composed of three parts: object class, node, and index.
The most significant six bits are the object class. The next
ten bits are the number of the node on which this object was
created. The node number is always one (1) in a single
processor system. The least significant sixteen bits form an
identifier within a particular object type. This identifier,
called the object index, ranges in value from 1 to the maximum
number of objects configured for this object type.
