RFC 1900: Renumbering Needs Work

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Hosts in an IP network are identified by IP addresses, and the IP address prefixes of subnets are advertised by routing protocols. A change in such IP addressing information associated with a host or subnet is known as "renumbering". This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
