How are UUIDs generated?
Version-3 and version-5 UUIDs are generated by hashing a namespace identifier and name. Version 3 uses MD5 as the hashing algorithm, and version 5 uses SHA-1.

Can you have two UUIDs the same?
UUIDs are handy for giving entities their own special names, for example, in a database. There are several ways to generate them, including methods based on time, MAC addresses, hashes, and random numbers, but they make the same promise: no two are identical. Each one is unique across space and time.
How are MAC addresses used to generate UUIDs?
MAC Addresses are unique to the computer generating them. By including a MAC address in the UUID you can be sure that two different computers will never generate the same UUID. Because MAC addresses are globally unique, version-1 UUIDs can be traced back to the computer that generated them. Records Layout for UUID version-1.
Can a UUID be repeated on another computer?
Can a UUID be repeated? UUID collisions are extremely unlikely. With UUID version-1 the MAC address of the computer generating the UUID in embedded in the UUID. MAC Addresses are unique on every computer with a network card.
Are there any version 1 UUIDs that are the same?
With each version 1 UUID corresponding to a single point in space (the node) and time (intervals and clock sequence), the chance of two properly generated version-1 UUIDs being unintentionally the same is practically nil.
