Please find below the RIPE Domain Name System hostcount for November 1992.
Also included again are the totals found for every hostcount done since the
start of all this.
- Hungary (HU) went down a little due to connectivity problems
- Portugal (PT) is a bit more serious, since not one machine inside Portugal
could be contacted. It seems that they have lost all connectivity to the
outside world.
- again the counts for Germany (DE) and United-Kingdom (UK) have been done
inside the country, and the results collected at the NCC.
Overall Hostcount once more.
Again a nice increase of around 17,000 to just under 272,000. It seems that
300,000 can be reached near almost 10,000, to 221951.
The only one country going down a bit is Hungary, due to unreachable
nameservers.
We welcome Great-Brittain (.gb) in the European networking scene ;-)
Unfortunately due to a mistake, the files with all zone output are
unavailable this time. They will return next month.
Some people have suggested that parts of this hostcount could be done
distributed, to get more accurate figures, and keep network load as low as
possible. I am happy to discuss a scheme for this at the next RIPE meeting in January in Prague.
Comparing this with the global zone survey as done at SRI by Mark Lottor, we
can conclude that almost 25% of all hosts in the DNS are in Europe (or at
least registered in the European part of the DNS).
meeting.
Some people have requested to have the history of the hostcounts distributed
with the hostcount every month, to keep track of what has passed over the
months/years. You can find the previous hostcounts below the hostcount for
August. Unfortunately, some of the counts are missing, mainly in the period
when I did this still at NIKHEF. Also some of the earliest counts may not be
as reliable as the last year or so. Much has changed to the program.
Enjoy,
