If you are referring to section 6.5.4.4 of ARIN's NRPM, it does not =20
require you to use SWIP. It requires that an ISP have records which =20
allow ARIN to evaluate a request for a subsequent allocation. SWIP =20
would work if ARIN wanted potentially 10s of millions of /56s in its =20
whois database but it is not explicitly required and ARIN staff can =20
presumably advise on suitable alternatives.
