And you use BGP? You have your own AS?

I am sorry, I cannot parse this sentence.

The way I understand it (you are really short on details), the
universities are your customers and there is always an ISP between
NREN and UNI:
+---------+
| | +---------+
| NREN |---------| ISP 1 |------- UNI 1
+---------+ +---------+
| | \
+--------+ | \
| ISP 2 | +-----------+ \
+--------+-------| Internet | +--------+
| | +-----------+ | UNI 2 |
| | | |
+------+ +-------+ +--------+
|UNI 3 | | UNI 4 |
+------+ +-------+
Is my schema OK? If no, please provide yours. If yes, I wonder, what
service provides the NREN if no connectivity? If you just provide
Internet servers (HTTP, XMPP, etc), there is no need to "tunnel"
anything over the ISP.
