“IRAQ-IXP in Baghdad is missing, https://www.iraqixp.com/”

Hello Robert! Thank you for your comment. In fact, we are aware of the presence of IRAQ-IXP, but unfortunately data is not publicly available regarding this IXP. The IXP's website does not provide information on the operations of the IXP (such as Governance, operational model, members, traffic, etc.) and their PeeringDB profile also does not reveal much. Having said that, we are actively reaching out and collaborating with all IXPs in the region and hopefully we will be including IRAQ-IXP in future works and analysis.
