Dear all, Here is the hostcount for July 1997. The table shows an increase since last month of more than 100,000 (or 2.2%) to a total of over 4,800,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. DE shows the highest increase for July with almost 30,000 hosts more than in June. 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 Mirek Luc <mirek@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.
