Allow for more than 256 results for a RESTful query of network
children (e.g. whois SWIPs for a parent netblock).<br>
<br>
An example of this issue can be seen at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-69-0-0-0-0/children">http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-69-0-0-0-0/children</a> - 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.<span style="font-family:

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:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.arin.net/features/#tbd">https://www.arin.net/features/#tbd</a><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
ARIN will keep this suggestion open until it is completed.<br>
