And NREN-NREN traffic typically does not traverse commercial IXen.
(Even though ISTR Sunet and Nordunet having peerings configured on
Netnod). Instead, from empire-building reasons or job security or "No
research project is complete unless the professor gets a new laptop and
a wavelength to CERN (or in USA, pick a DoE site) from the project
money", NRENs build their own... I am convinced that some applications
actually benefit from this, though.
