I should probably point something out before anybody does something that is not allowed: the route to world.std.com from the EPFL etc. is an open-jaw route (the packets don't come back the same way they go out), the incoming packets still traverse the NSFnet and EASIgate and are naturally subject to the NSFnet and EASInet acceptable use policy.
