With IPv4, NAT allows one to isolate most of the internal network by
using non-routable addresses.  So, switching ISPs means renumbering the
external nodes and revising some firewall rules.

With IPv6, without NAT, switching vendors with PA space means
renumbering both the external and the internal network.
