Really? So if I have a /20, you are saying I cannot use it as I need to use it?
No. It's yours you can use it any way you want. What I'm saying is that nor because it's yours neither because you can use it anyway you want make you a good netizen nor guarantees any results.
You do not need to tunnel at all if your two upstreams trade downstream routes (e.g. "peer"), and the US upstream does not filter small prefixes from their peers.
Indeed, but how can you guarantee it? SNAFUs do happen, for a number of reasons you can't control. Tunneling provides some resiliency when things which are not supposed to happen do in fact pop up from time to time.
As I said in the first post, this is much more common than the alternative, so chances are it will "just work".
No argument here. Michel.
