That site you quoted looks like text that I created. For CloudIPv4.com (part of RentIPv4.com). To peer most networks require assigned IPv4 space. Most networks do not want to burn a /24 to peer. The local peering routers will propagate a /25... /30.. etc. from the peering platform to the rest of the their own network's routers but usually never beyond - keeps it internal within the network's own BGP sessions. However, you can not expect the /25.. /30 to be propagated beyond the network you have a BGP session with - I.E. transits will filter the subnets /25.../30. I have seen an exception locally or regionally it was agreed too propagate outside the network. Thank You Bob Evans CTO

I have stumbled upon this site [1] which seems to offer /27 IPv4 leasing. They also claim "All of our IPv4 address space can be used on any network in any location."
I thought that the smallest prefix size one could get routed globally is /24?
Yes
So how does this work?
Probably with GRE, IPIP or OpenVPN tunnels.
Kind regards,

IPv4 /24 is commonly the minimal chunk advertised to (and accepted by) neighbors. If I run a global (or regional) network, I may advertise this /24 -- or rather an aggregate covering it -- over my diverse interconnection with neighbors, your /27 being part of the chunk and routed to you internally (if you're va customer)-- no need for encapsulation efforts. Similar scenario may be multi-upstream, subject to acceptance of "punching holes in aggregates"... Am I missing something? What's the trigger for doing tunneling here?
Happy New Year '18, by the way !
