Why each option
NetBIOS names can contain a period ('.') and an underscore ('_'), and are typically limited to 15 characters for the name itself.
NetBIOS names can use other characters besides alphanumeric, such as hyphens, periods, and underscores.
NetBIOS names can include a period ('.') character, which is often used in fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) when resolving NetBIOS names.
NetBIOS names are allowed to contain the underscore ('_') character as part of their naming convention.
While traditionally often displayed in uppercase, NetBIOS name resolution is case-insensitive, and they do not strictly have to be uppercase.
NetBIOS names are typically 16 bytes, with the last byte representing the resource type, leaving 15 characters for the actual name, not 32.
