This is an ISP question but not necessarily a FreeBSD question. Sorry if that annoys anybody. Our ISP is now large enough that we need a /19 IP allocation. We are also going to be taking on a new customer (another ISP) who has outgrown their /20. So, with both our ISP and the new customer needing to re-number at approx- imately the same time, we are looking into getting our new allocation from ARIN. I've been reading ARIN's site today and trying to fully understand what they require for an initial IP address space request. I can't find our currently allocated space via whois. From what I understand of http://www.arin.net/regserv/initial-isp.html, I think we need to have our IP space attributed to us in order to smooth the application process. We have three non-contiguous address blocks at this time. The first is xxx.xxx.175.0/24 and xxx.xxx.179.0/22. The second is xxx.xxx.192.0/20. The third is yyy.yyy.112.0/21. The only reference that includes part of our address space is a record for xxx.xxx.0.0/16. Maybe I'm searching incorrectly. The queries I am running are in the form of: whois -h rr.arin.net xxx.xxx.175.0/24 whois -h rr.arin.net xxx.xxx.175.3 Do I need to submit our netblocks to the SWIP just so that I can remove the info in less than a month? 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?
