normally /24 or /28 pTLAs behave just like an ISP, and sub-allocates
its address space (like /48) to childrens. for example, WIDE
(3ffe:500::/24) has 3 layers of address sub-allocation (/40 and
then /48) under it. it would be rather hard for those pTLAs to
renumber all suballocated regions. (imagine renumbering x/8 to y/8,
where there are suballocations like x.z.u.0/24) is the scenario
realistic in actual IPv6 operation? isn't it too aggressive?
(example: when sTLA gets more address space, they won't asked to return
their previously allocated space)
