assuming that all prefixes are 48 bits long, fine. Guess

I totally understand the concern over circular dependencies. They are
not to be underestimated. And in a service provider environment I think
you must be doubly cautious about them. However, in an enterprise
environment it may be appropriate to make certain allowances for certain

no renumbering event is "too hard" in isolation ..
BGP peers, MRTG/CRICKET monitoring, /ACL configs, syslog all come to mind
as issues/considerations for router renumbering.
and remember tht the router is the distribution engine of "the set
of prefixes in use with a set of tags
