It appears that our neighbour pTLA do not allow us to announce our /48 
through other pTLAs, so we're looking into obtaining a provider-indipendent 
address space and request peering with major IPv6 italian/european pTLAs.
In our testing environment, we specifically need our annunce to reach the 
backbone through multiple paths (2 or possibly more).
