In addition to this documentation, for reallocations of /29 or more IPs, SWIP or Rwhois is also required by policy.
It is unreasonable to require detailed customer information on /32 static assignments which make up the smallest fraction of space compared to the huge blocks of dhcp pools (pools which justify allocations on their own).
It depends. If you have a healthy mix of assignment sizes and your contact at ARIN is hassling you about the /32's, you may want to ask why he's seeking that information in light of the policy cut-off at /29. If the bulk of your assignment sizes are /32 then I suspect your ARIN contact is really saying: This fits a pattern consistent with careless and poorly tracked assignments which if audited would reveal enough dead assignments to put you in violation of policy. Show us that's not the case. If you have already provided a reasonable demonstration of the actual utilization of your /32's yet you're still getting hassled about identifying those customers that would seem, to my read anyway, to violate ARIN's written policy. In which case I'm confident that ARIN President John Curran would like to hear from you privately. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
