The Resources Object shall be used as the browse entry point for physical and logical resources of the device the Server is running on. It shall reside in the Server Object defined in OPC 10000-5. It may contain a set of Organizes References that point to other Objects representing specific resources. It is formally defined in Table 36.

The Communication Object shall be used as the browse entry point for communication related resources of the physical device the Server is running on. It is formally defined in Table 37.
The Communication Object is referenced by an Organizes Reference from the Resources Object defined in 5.4.1.
The Communication Object may include the following subfolders:
- MappingTables
- NetworkInterfaces
- Streams
Note: It is recommended to keep TSN-Streams and possible future (DetNet-)Flows separated in specific folders.

The NetworkInterfaces folder is intended to hold instances, which are of IetfBaseNetworkInterfaceType or a subtype of it. However other Objects can be stored within this folder that implement the UA Interface IIetfBaseNetworkInterfaceType.
All Objects of Type IetfBaseNetworkInterfaceType within the NetworkInterfaces folder shall represent either a physical or virtual network interface.
The Streams Object shall be used as the browse entry point for network streams of the device the Server is running on. It is formally defined in Table 40.
