Subject: [arin-announce] Whois-RWS Release Update
On 26 June, ARIN rolled out Whois-RWS. Unfortunately, we experienced a
very significant increase in traffic after rollout which exceeded our
load capacity and caused the new service to degrade to an unacceptable
level. To ensure customers could continue to access ARIN's Whois data,
we have reverted to the old service which degrades more gracefully under
load. We are examining the data gathered on the traffic patterns we
experienced and are making the necessary changes to deploy Whois-RWS the
near future. We thank you for your patience, and we look forward to
making the Whois-RWS service available for community use very soon.
Regards,
Mark Kosters
