[ARIN-Suggestions] Response to Suggestion 2012.20 - REMOVE RESULT LIMIT FOR WHOIS-RWS CHILD NETWORK QUERIES

[ARIN]

ARIN has issued its initial response to ACSP Suggestion 2012.20. The 
suggestion and response text are provided below. This suggestion remains 
open and is available at:

https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2012-20.html

Regards,

Communications and Member Services
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)

Suggestion: *

Allow for more than 256 results for a RESTful query of network children 
(e.g. whois SWIPs for a parent netblock).

An example of this issue can be seen at 
http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-69-0-0-0-0/children - I would 
recommend to keep the existing behavior of limiting /children requests 
to only 256 entries (with a warning that the output has been truncated) 
so as not to overload any systems which aren't expecting a large volume 
of output. Provide a flag to allow a query which is not truncated (e.g. 
/children/full) for when the full output is desired.

*Response:*

Thank you for your suggestion, which was numbered 2012.20 upon receipt. 
This suggestion is reasonable and we plan on adding it to the list of 
outstanding projects awaiting prioritization found at: 
https://www.arin.net/features/#tbd

Please note that we will be consulting the ARIN community to help access 
prioritization of improvements of existing systems, as well as 
additional services that the community desires. This will be fed back 
into ARIN's planning process for scheduling development resources to 
complete the suggestion.

ARIN will keep this suggestion open until it is completed.
