Hello all,
First of all of course the best wishes for 1994 for all from the RIPE NCC.
Below is the last hostcount for 1993. It has been run during the Xmas
holidays, which might explain some domains showing a bit less than
previous counts. All the domains that show lower figures have been redone,
without improvement.
- an overall improvement of 19,656 to bring the total to 553,357. Like
I mentioned in October, it took exactly a year to double (280,000 in
December 1992). The total increase over last quarter is almost 18% (or
84,000 machines).
- CH is the one domain which shows a count almost 3,000 lower than the
previous time, reason unknown.
- DE has taken over first place from the UK again.
- all output and history again in ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount
- as mentioned last month, we planned to do a worldwide hostcount
using our mechanism, to compare to the Mark Lottor data. We have
gathered all the data we needed for this (70 Mbytes gzipped) and are
currently processing all this data (which takes a while on a simple
ELC ;-) A report like Mark Lottor produces should be out sometime next
week. Right now, that data seems comparable to Marks data, but there
are some interesting differences. Please have some patience for these
results. We will also do an address usage overview for all this data.
Enjoy,
-Marten

This is an overview of the History of the RIPE hostcounts.
It only contains the totals. The totals for 1990-1991 should be considered
rather unstable and unreliable because the program used then was not really
tuned, plus the count was not done as regular as it is now.
Count : total hostcount for all European top level domains
Delta : delta since previous count
Delta % : delta as percentage of previous count
Q Delta : delta over the past quarter
Q Delta%: delta over last quarter as percentage of end of last quarter count
For the Q Deltas I have not calculated those back before 1992, because the
figures for 1990-1991 are not too reliable.
*) Dec 1991 hostcount estimated at 135,000.
