We have three non-contiguous address blocks at this time. Not necessarily. Arin Says you need to "Demonstrate efficient utilization of previous address space allocations by providing reassignment information via SWIP, RWHOIS, or the table format shown earlier". Here's what I would do: Gather all of the allocation information. Format it in that little table and fill the appropriate forms. Send it in. I'm not sure whether I would just point them toward a URL or not. Worst they do is say "we need this in x format". I suspect they will accept it in something other than SWIP/rwhois since your upstreams haven't been Swipping correctly. > Another interpretation of what I'm reading seems to be that I could just > submit that info on the allocation justification form since I haven't currently > assigned more than two class Cs to any of my customers. Is that interpretation > off-base? I'm not sure. When SWIP'ing you need to swip /29's and above. A 29 is 8 addresses. I would recommend you document all assigments of 8 or more addresses. Maybe the best thing you could do is to do all the documentation and evertyhting and then send them a note saying "here's what I've got, do I have to swip this or is the information ok". Everyone I have talked to at ARIN when I have been to NANOG have been really nice and I really think that they would be more than willing to accomodate you where possible, especially on the documentation on a initial allocation. - Forrest W.
