You were close. Bean counters count $$$, show them how you won't have to
buy as many new routers in the near future. Bottom line for any business is
$$$, not CPU cycles. A bean counter doesn't know a CPU cycle from his
@#$%&.

The bean-counters looooove numbers, so give it to them in terms of numbers:
"Our routers can either spend their time advertising X number of /22 routes,
or they can save a lot of CPU cycles by advertising just one /19 route -
it's up to you."
After that, it's in their hands, and either way, you get paid. ;-)

How does one go about justifying the renumbering of public addresses to
management?
A /19, /20, or /21 could save us a lot of routing nightmares and our
providers won't give
us anything greater than a /22 (which we have lots of). We could easily get
portable
address space from ARIN in a single, much larger CIDR block. How do you
explain
the benefits of that to people who do not understand?
