Your suggestion to add a an entry into ARIN's Whois for IPv6 Unique
Local Addresses fc00::/7 makes sense, and is something that ARIN
will follow up on and complete within the next two weeks.<br>
<br>
This suggestion will remain open until implementation is complete.<br>

Thank you again for submitting your suggestion to add a 'whois'
entry for IPv6 Unique Local Addresses fc00::/7. We are writing to
inform you this action has been taken. When you query for an address
inside that range you will now see a corresponding whois entry. Note
that we currently have a size limitation of /12 for IPv6 netblocks
in whois, so the entry appears as 32 separate /12 records, however
the entire /7 range is covered by an entry. We will be updating
whois to allow IPv6 netblocks larger than /12 in the near future and
the /7 will then appear as a single entry.<br>
<br>
This suggestion is now closed.<span style="font-family:Helvetica;
