[arin-announce] Reminder: Servers Available to Test Upcoming SWIP Changes

[ARIN]

As a reminder, to help you prepare for our community-driven policy 
changes scheduled to take place the week of 30 March 2020, we have 
provided special servers in our Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) 
Environment. If you are an ISP who performs Detailed Reassignments or 
Reallocations of IP addresses to customers, we recommend that you use 
these servers to test the configuration changes that you will need to 
make as a result of the policy changes.

With the changes to our system, you will no longer be able to create 
POCs or Org IDs for your downstream customers when using the Detailed 
Reassignment or Reallocation methods of SWIP. The policies establish 
that POCs and Org IDs shall only be created by the individual or entity 
represented by the organization. Currently, about 50 percent of the 
Detailed Reassignment and Reallocation requests submitted create POCs 
and Org IDs. After the policy implementation the week of 30 March 2020, 
all of these SWIPs will fail to process.

To test RESTful calls using the OT&E server, modify your RESTful 
commands to use the URL reg-swip.ote.arin.net in place of reg.arin.net. 
Documentation for RESTful commands can be found here: 
https://www.arin.net/resources/manage/regrws/

To try out the reassignment and reallocation changes in ARIN Online, 
access the OT&E server at https://account-swip.ote.arin.net/public/login 
and navigate to IP Addresses > Reassign Addresses to begin testing.
