MIPSpace is stupid if they think you can get SWIP from DO. This is not DO's policy, but the RIR. I seem to remember that for ARIN you need a /30 or larger of consecutive IP address space to qualify for SWIP. This may even be a /28. So while DO is saying no, I'm wondering if it's because they don't offer the space required to SWIP the ranges. In addition to not offering the size, it would incur additional administrative overhead. Can't blame them.

According to https://www.arin.net/resources/request/reassignments.html https://www.arin.net/resources/request/reassignments.html it's actually mandatory to provide whois tracking for assignments /29 or shorter prefix, and optional for /30 or longer prefix. I can't find any reason they wouldn't be able to provide it if they wanted to. Edit: definitely possible http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/12406/which-providers-provides-32-swips http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/12406/which-providers-provi... So you shouldn't call MIPSpace stupid, thanks.
