> We couldn't allow an UDP since we have an agreement with our uplink that we will make it impossible to host outwards facing services.

Again, that agreement already means you're not providing internet service, even if you provided outgoing UDP you still would be violating the end to end principle. The hardware is just a consequence of wanting to be more (rather: less) than a dumb pipe.

So what are we then? I think we are better internet provider than any commercial one could be in the dorms we supply. Being an internet provider is being more than a dumb pipe. There are regulations too. We have to do customer service, keep up times, ... But according to you we are not an internet service provider.
