Dear all, Here is the hostcount for July 1996. The table shows an increase since last month of more than 101,000 (or 3.5%) to a total of over 3,017,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe. DE shows the highest increase for July with more than 27,000 hosts more than in June. I have this time also included a list sorted by total amount of hosts and one sorted by number of domains (Thanks to Antonio_Blasco Bonito). You can find these tables at the end of this message. It would be interesting to get some feedback on the usefulness of these sorted lists. 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 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> li Marcel Schneider <hostmaster@nic.ch> 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> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
