That certainly helps. To me, the term NAP is in some ways antiquated. I expected
that you were thinking L3 IXP based on your description but wanted to make sure. The
concept of building a large scale NAP similar to those that you mention seems rather
grand to me :)
I can send you off list a couple documents on building IXP's at both layer 2 and layer
3. As well, the documents that Howard referenced are likely excellent sources of
information as well. But I do concur, and all bias aside, if you are looking to build
something on a large scale you are likely wise to tap into some focused consulting
resources, most of which I expect lie at Cisco and Juniper.
If you would like the pdf's I have, please let me know. I can't link to them as I do
not recall from whence I thieved them.
