[ARIN-Suggestions] NEW ACSP 2019.16: ARIN-sponsored IPAM

[ARIN]

On 17 July, we received a new suggestion, numbered 2019.16 upon confirmed
receipt, that ARIN develop a IPAM system for customer use. Staff is
reviewing this suggestion and will issue a formal
response once analysis is complete.

The full text of the suggestion may be found below or at:

Description: IPAM ( a downloadable IPAM IPv4 & IPv6 system for ISPs)

An IPAM that an ISP can use to document SuperNets and nested Subnets and
Pools and prefixes and what IPs are assigned/allocated to each IPS’s
customers.

Value to Community: An (ARIN sponsored) IPAM downloadable database
system would be a huge benefit to ISPs for the following reasons:

     * Document SuperNets
     * Document Subnets (and nested Subnets of Subnets)
     * Document IP pools to customers and ISP infrastructure networks
     * OnLine sofrware upgradable
     * ISP private use of the ISPs IP configuration and IP use
     * Contain pre-defined ARIN fields (ASNs, Net Handles , Net Ranges) 
and other useful ARIN fields in the IPAM
     * Report generation (useful when working with ARIN)
         * Such an IPAM is much needed and wanted


Timeframe: Not specified
