All, Better late than never, here's the March 1994 RIPE DNS hostcount. Some comments: - a mistake in the January 1994 hostcount caused the January and February counts to be off by 17. I have corrected this in the hostcounts for these months, and in the Overview appended below. Also all files on ftp.ripe.net have been changed to reflect this. - only a few countries went slightly down, CS for obvious reasons (migrating to CZ and SK) and only PL really showed a little less. Interesting is that I have counted France(FR) 3 times in two days, and have seen a difference in the outcome of over 7000 machines ... The best has been included below. - overall a nice increase of just over 32,000 to over 655,000. The increase this quarter has been 18.4 percent, slightly higher than last quarter. - Germany (DE), United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland (IE) have been counted from within the country, all other countries counted from Amsterdam. - all output (gzipped) again available on ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount Enjoy, -Marten RIPE DNS Hostcount Previous Count : Mon Feb 28 1994 This Count : Thu Mar 31 1994 CY SOA COUNTED DUPL REAL CHANGE ============================================================ al 1 0 0 0 0 at 364 18032 570 17462 + 904 az 1 0 0 0 0 be 122 10217 172 10045 + 1947 bg 4 29 7 22 0 by 0 0 0 0 0 ch 254 42057 241 41816 + 1435 cs 88 2347 79 2268 - 95 cy 6 40 6 34 0 cz 131 6229 59 6170 + 723 de 1792 131246 4024 127222 + 2077 dk 139 10027 158 9869 + 1679 dz 1 0 0 0 0 dz 1 0 0 0 0 ee 23 520 2 518 + 11 eg 4 57 0 57 0 es 362 17538 166 17372 + 1184 fi 366 42309 877 41432 + 2973 fo 1 0 0 0 0 fr 833 64293 1156 63137 + 1935 gb 1 19 0 19 + 2 ge 1 0 0 0 0 gr 123 2522 267 2255 + 267 hr 48 761 9 752 + 297 hu 44 3714 28 3686 + 66 ie 54 2702 60 2642 + 115 il 150 7476 58 7418 + 252 is 60 2392 13 2379 + 206 it 550 20587 431 20156 + 966 li 2 17 0 17 0 lt 1 0 0 0 0 lu 20 360 2 358 + 19 lv 5 120 1 119 + 18 ma 1 0 0 0 0 mk 1 0 0 0 0 mt 1 0 0 0 0 nl 525 51138 685 50453 + 1799 no 552 35588 340 35248 + 1200 pl 290 6074 382 5692 - 11 pt 125 4046 67 3979 + 98 ro 14 113 0 113 + 8 se 635 49851 894 48957 + 3522 si 19 736 7 729 + 33 sk 63 952 18 934 + 8 su 179 2548 99 2449 + 234 tn 2 19 2 17 + 2 tr 26 816 8 808 + 149 ua 43 258 27 231 + 15 uk 1010 141268 12941 128327 + 7968 va 0 0 0 0 0 yu 1 2 0 2 0 ============================================================ 9039 679020 23856 655164 +32006 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.
