Dear all, Here is the hostcount for February 1997. The table shows an increase since last month of almost 1,300,000 (or 3.2%) to a total of over 4000,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe (Yes, we hit the 4 Million!). The UK shows the highest increase for February with almost 18,000 hosts more than in January. The hostcount can also be found under ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount. The graphical version of the hostcount can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount/RIPE-Hostcount-{Mo,Qu}.eps The translation of the country codes can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes All this data can also be found at http://www.ripe.net/statistics/hostcount.html If you are intersted in the historic hostcount data, bunyip Information Services is hosting the complete set of data since 1994 under ftp://ftp.bunyip.com/pub/netstats/ripe I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by counting hosts locally: at Gerhard Winkler <winkler@cc.univie.ac.at> be Herman Moons <Herman.Moons@CS.kuleuven.ac.be> ch Marcel Schneider <hostmaster@nic.ch> cy Panagiotis Tzounakis <pj@ics.forth.gr> cz Jiri Orsag <Jiri.Orsag@eunet.cz> de Peter Koch <pk@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> dk Robert Martin-Legene <robert@dknet.dk> es Jose Sanchez-Seco <jose.sanchez@rediris.es> fi Petri Ojala <ojala@eunet.fi> fr Annie Renard <Annie.Renard@inria.fr> gr Dimitris Zisiadis <zisiadis@forthnet.gr> hr Ivan Maric <Ivan.Maric@stribor.srce.hr> hu Gabor Kiss <kissg@sztaki.hu> ie Mike Norris <mnorris@dalkey.hea.ie> il Sason Levi <sason@NetVision.net.il> it Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito@nis.garr.it> no Havard Eidnes <Havard.Eidnes@runit.sintef.no> pl Irek Neska <irek@nask.pl> pt Armando Domingues <fccn@dns.pt> ru Andrey Dobrotsvetov <adbr@ripn.net> sk Ivan Lescak <Ivan.Lescak@Slovakia.EU.net> Lubos Elias <Lubos.Elias@uakom.sk> sm Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito@nis.garr.it> tr Yener Yigit <yener@knidos.cc.metu.edu.tr> uk Kevin Hoadley <K.Hoadley@nosc.ja.net> Robert Stone <robert@nosc.ja.net> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
