So how many of these 101 BGP peerings are on direct native links?

I would have thought 5-10 would be more than ample.   It's not a race to see
who can get the most(!)

Tunnels to end users is one thing, the question is more on your infrastructure
peerings to other pTLAs (or SubTLAs, if any would peer with you...)

There are many networks trying to deploy IPv6 with some structure to the
connectivity, removing multi-hop IPv4 tunnels, trying to get a more predictable
IPv6 service, as more people begin to use IPv6 daily.  I'm not sure that any
ISP with 101 BGP peerings is helping that.   Perhaps you can explain your
goals in building these peerings?
