See RFC 4192. It turns out that if people are sensible, renumbering is almost trivial. The biggest problems are configurations in routers that require explicit statement of addresses or prefixes (ACLs, Route Maps, etc) and shortcuts people take in applications. But those configurations and shortcuts... When I wrote the first cut at that document, I sent a note to some operational lists saying "I know you're going to tell me I'm nuts; what I need to understand is *why* I'm nuts". It was quite an education. I would not underestimate the operational issues in renumbering. http://www.ipinc.net/IPv4.GIF _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list rrg@irtf.org http://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
