Or you could bypass all that, fork over a little money and hire a consultant that has done it many times, to come in and tell ya exactly how to do everything. Then you will not have to learn the hard-way of trial and error. Since we are talking about a 75,000 node network, I don't think too many errors would be looked very highly upon...

I think I'd disagree with that. Where would all you folks be if you never picked up a book? You wouldn't be reading this list. Seriously, while there's not an ORA "How to Build a NOC" book with some cute animal on the cover, there is some information out there worth reading. I'd suggest digging through some telco info (if you'd like to consider a CO a NOC). Also, there should be plenty of people on this list that work in or have even designed decent sized NOCs. You can also cheat and go browsing as a prospective customer at someplace like Exodus or any other colo facility that is well-managed and modern. You can actually learn quite a bit by just looking around... Hopefully some of the startup NSPs will answer here, as the experience should still be fresh in their minds...
