RIPE DNS Hostcount August 1993
by Marten Terpstra 02 Sep '93

02 Sep '93

Folks, Please find below the RIPE DNS hostcount for August 1993. - we are currently analyzing all the DNS output for some statistics on the 2nd and 3rd level domains inside each of the top levels. Once we get some results we will post them as well. - output again on ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount, also available in the gopher server on gopher.ripe.net under "RIPE Archive"/"ripe"/"hostcount" - UK makes a big jump in their race with Germany towards 100,000 - total increase of almost 25,000 to over 451,000. - history again appended, I have included deltas this time, which shows the growth compared to the previous count. I plan to continue doing this. - everyone who uses "host" for similar purposes as this should pick up a new version from either ftp.ripe.net:tools/dns/host.tar.Z or ftp.nikhef.nl:pub/network/host.tar.Z, because some modifications have been made that make the output somewhat more friendly, and the hostcount much faster (thanks to Eric Wassenaar, NIKHEF) Enoy, -Marten ------- RIPE DNS Hostcount Previous Count : Wed Jul 31 1993 This Count : Tue Aug 31 1993 CY SOA COUNTED DUPL REAL CHANGE ============================================================ al 1 0 0 0 0 at 296 12986 94 12892 + 272 be 57 5134 92 5042 + 806 bg 3 21 5 16 + 16 by 0 0 0 0 0 ch 171 32476 712 31764 + 1283 cs 74 2810 57 2753 + 3 cy 5 30 0 30 0 cz 69 3439 85 3354 + 170 de 1395 95375 3355 92020 + 2506 dk 113 6823 93 6730 + 222 dz 0 0 0 0 0 ee 17 210 2 208 + 16 eg 1 0 0 0 0 es 238 10485 127 10358 + 358 fi 271 28244 748 27496 + 1521 fo 1 0 0 0 0 fr 539 44242 604 43638 + 5287 gb 1 15 0 15 + 1 ge 1 0 0 0 0 gr 86 1337 225 1112 + 12 hr 26 419 1 418 + 91 hu 32 1679 7 1672 + 265 ie 44 1937 48 1889 + 222 is 36 1302 10 1292 + 65 it 353 14058 215 13843 - 338 il 84 5671 64 5607 + 152 li 2 17 0 17 0 lt 1 0 0 0 0 lu 11 229 0 229 + 23 lv 1 15 0 15 + 1 mt 1 0 0 0 0 nl 379 36634 400 36234 + 949 no 404 25871 226 25645 + 958 pl 62 1216 9 1207 + 91 pt 85 2692 45 2647 - 75 ro 2 14 0 14 0 se 457 35535 313 35222 + 2873 si 11 468 3 465 + 9 sk 24 469 8 461 + 162 su 143 757 44 713 + 219 tn 1 0 0 0 - 11 tr 18 449 2 447 + 259 ua 34 140 11 129 + 110 uk 654 95794 10274 85520 + 5791 va 0 0 0 0 0 yu 2 2 0 2 0 ============================================================ 6206 468995 17879 451116 +24289 History Count Delta Delta % ----------------------------------------- Oct 1990 31724 Nov 1990 33665 + 1941 + 6.1% Dec 1990 29230 - 4435 - 13.2% Jan 1991 43832 + 14602 + 50.0% Feb 1991 - Mar 1991 44506 + 674 + 1.5% Apr 1991 46948 + 2442 + 5.5% May 1991 - Jun 1991 63267 + 16319 + 34.8% Jul 1991 - Aug 1991 73069 + 9802 + 15.5% Sep 1991 92834 + 19765 + 27.0% Oct 1991 104824 + 11990 + 12.9% Nov 1991 129652 + 24828 + 23.7% Dec 1991 - Jan 1992 141308 + 11656 + 9.0% Feb 1992 161434 + 20126 + 14.2% Mar 1992 167939 + 6505 + 4.0% Apr 1992 170050 + 2111 + 1.3% May 1992 182528 + 12478 + 7.3% Jun 1992 196758 + 14230 + 7.8% Jul 1992 213017 + 16259 + 8.3% Aug 1992 221951 + 8934 + 4.2% Sep 1992 232522 + 10571 + 4.8% Oct 1992 254585 + 22063 + 9.5% Nov 1992 271795 + 17210 + 6.8% Dec 1992 284374 + 12579 + 4.6% Jan 1993 303828 + 19454 + 6.8% Feb 1993 322902 + 19074 + 6.3% Mar 1993 355140 + 32238 + 10.0% Apr 1993 366164 + 11024 + 3.1% May 1993 385522 + 19358 + 5.3% Jun 1993 404930 + 19408 + 5.0% Jul 1993 426827 + 21897 + 5.4% Aug 1993 451116 + 24289 + 5.7%

Guidelines on how to report on european connectivity
by Milan Sterba 01 Sep '93

01 Sep '93

Dear colleagues, it has been agreed at the last RIPE meeting that a new more general scheme of reporting on european connectivity shall be adopted in RIPE. The reporting scheme will be open for whole Europe and will cease to be restricted only to Central and Eastern European countries. Connectivity issues will not be pulished in form of a periodical report but will rather be maintained in the form of an indexed archive at the RIPE repository. We have agreed that there should be some editing board which would unify the look and style the presentations of different countries. We also agreed on producing guidelines to the contributors on how the connectivity report of a country should be organized. These guidelines are now published as a RIPE draft document ripe/docs/ripe-drafts/connectivity-report-plan.txt and will be proposed to be accepted as a ripe document at the next RIPE meeting in September. Please have a look at this proposal. I will be gratefull for any comments you might have to this proposal in order to work out a viable scheme which would result in improved quality of reporting on european connectivity. Thanks and see you in Amsterdam Best regards Milan Sterba -- BEWARE - MY TELEPHONE NUMBER HAS CHANGED !!!! ====================================================================== Prague University of Economics e-mail : Milan.Sterba(a)vse.cz Computing Center tel : +42 2 24 21 79 00 nam.

Re: RARE Call for Tender for MS-Windows X.500 DUA using LDAP
by Brian Call 30 Aug '93

>I believe Wollongongs pathworks(pathways) product commercially available >for a few months has a windows based dua, I believe it does use ldap. > >If you are already aware of this information, I apologize for wasting your >time. >If anyone has any information which enhances or disputes the contents of >this message, I look forward to hearing from you. The current release of Wollongong's PathWay Messaging Services includes a X Windows based dua. The current release of PathWay Messenger (mail client program for X Windows, MS-Windows, and Macintosh) inlcudes X.500 searching capabilities. Neither of these uses LDAP yet. The protocol is RFC 1202 based. We plan on supporting LDAP in a future release. Brian Call brian(a)twg.com
