Response:

Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2019.16 upon confirmed receipt, 
asking that ARIN sponsor an IPAM system for ARIN registrants. There are 
commercially available address management products, as well as open 
source options, available that may suit your needs. We provide a page 
with related information for ARIN registrants who are seeking IPAM 
products at following URL. We are happy to include additional IPAM 
vendors on this page, at their request.

ARIN currently has no plans to create an IPAM product. For this reason, 
we are closing your suggestion. We thank you for your participation in 
ARIN's Consultation and Suggestion Process.



Suggestion:


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
