I tell ya, fellas, Marty is right. Renumbering is a looser. People will give us more trouble than its worth it. E.g., PSI would never go for giving up their Class A, as it means too much to them. Must help them milking the cows. Lets just bandaid the current addressing structure and protocols as best we can for a little longer, and under the premise that we have to jettison the IP address space anyway and completely and each and every bit a little while down the road. We should have gone for CLNP years ago (didn't Clark suggest that in, uh, '86 or so already)? If only for the sole benefit of a forced renumbering by means of a brand new and hierarchical addressing space called NSAPs. Who cares about petty details like the protocols chosen, and some bells'n'whistles nonsense in each packet. The address is what counts. Color and size of the envelope doesn't matter. Right on, Marty!
