First: AS3320/DTAG is a member of DC-CIX today and the ASNs moves (I assume) some minimal traffic via the IX. Of course they don't peer with many players; but it's there.
AS3320/DTAG does have a trial IPv6 conenction to DE-CIX only.
Second: DE-CIX doesn't publish PNI (carrier to carrier interconnects) numbers as it's not in their business model. Hence a majority of traffic or interconnects within Frankfurt or other locations are ignored when looking at the IX stats. Note: LINX in the UK does publish this for London.
We do not offer PNI but only more or less are a wholesale for DC PNI. We could give numbers on how many PNI have been sold but don't have any idea of hw much traffic goes across these PNI
Third: There are other major IXs in Germany. Don't forget ECIX in four cities. BCIX in Berlin. INXS in Munich. Plus Others. Germany is a large land mass (large mSec latency edge to edge). Other interconnect points besides Frankfurt are needed.
Depends on your definition of 'major' and 'large' ... There are interconnect points in Hamburg, Berlin, Duesseldorf, Frankfurt and Munich. DE-CIX also runs IXP in Hamburg and Munich. INXS in Munich is not really alive anymore afaik (News last updated [2009-10-26]) https://www.peeringdb.com/private/exchange_list.php?s_country=DE&mgmtPublicsOrder=Sorter_city&mgmtPublicsDir=ASC should really give all of the interesting places. Besides the cities listed above there are IXP in Bremen, Dortmund, Nuernberg and Stuttgart. By heart I would say that 95% of all Germans live with a 100km radius of these cities.
I strongly recommend a review of http://ixmaps.ca/ project - maybe a budding German masters candidate could covert that from a Canadian to German experiment. Then we would know more data and read less rhetoric. (I mean from politicians vs this group - honest).
