 | | The connectivity of disparate corporate networks present unique challenges in the realm of renumbering, since one or more individual networks may have to be blended into a much larger architecture consisting a different IP address prefix altogether. |
 | | However, if this practice were to happen on a large scale, the growth of the global routing table would become much larger, and perhaps too large for current backbone routers to accommodate in an acceptable fashion with regards to performance of recalculating routing information and sheer size of the routing table itself. |
