Perhaps term IXP, IntereXchange Point could be used.  Too many acronyms has
long been a trend in technology. :-)

I have always liked Deering's MIX (Metropolitan Internet eXchange),
since the acronym also described the activity (MIXing).

Perhaps have the region/location: LA-MIX, Chicago-MIX, et alia.

NB: NAP has always struck me as overly generic ("access point"), and a
description of sedentary inactivity.

Funny, I've always thought of diapers.
