Imagine the heartburn if a group with > simply one ClassB was required to totally renumber to another... Do you mean a /16 network prefix? This would not be disruptive if the group would wake up to the facts of life and start renumbering NOW! Don't wait until your address allocation changes, start working on it today and make it a part of regular maintenance and administrative procedures. Deploy DHCP, document where IP numbers are configured, build and test renumbering scripts, beat on vendors to make it fast, easy and painless to renumber. Renumbering is not an event, it's a state of mind.
