Deprecation: the ARIN Whois OriginAS feature (config knob
use_arin_bulk_whois_data
, documented in Use ARIN Whois database to accept routes) is being deprecated.Per Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2021-8, the "Autonomous System Originations" field is going to be removed from the ARIN database. Consequentially, this feature that is based on that is going to be deprecated as well and will be dropped in future releases of ARouteServer.
Operators that will run ARouteServer with
use_arin_bulk_whois_data.enabled
set toTrue
will see a warning message being logged, about the deprecation.The publicly available intermediate data relay which was running on the NLNOG infrastructure already removed the source file, which was used to fetch those records. So, operators willing to support this feature will need to provide their own version of the file.
