[arin-ppml] Revealing /32 customers?

[Tim Gimmel]

That is not true!
  I just received an /21 allocation and in order to get the allocation I was required to send customer names for every address for a DHCP /25.  I have asked repeatedly why, on cable DHCP groups, this necessary since is not required by ARIN policy.  I advised the representative this needs to be make clear in ARIN policy so our company can put procedures in place to easily supply this data when asking for more resources.
I guess this is why I comment.

Regards,
Tim Gimmel

I work with several ISPs, and to my knowledge, none of them have ever been asked to provide any more information than what is already in SWIP/WHOIS, which would mean only /29 and shorter. In fact, I don't think they have ever been asked anything at all. I just assumed that since the SWIP/WHOIS data was already there, it was being used.

In many cases I have seen "/24 allocated as /32 static assignments to customers" be sufficient justification.
