RIPE DNS Hostcount September 1993


Dear all,

Please find below another RIPE DNS Hostcount.

- some countries went down a little, I did not retry any of them, sorry.
- Germany makes another big step with over 4,000 extra hosts
- Poland steams up with more than double their previous figure ...

- Just as a reminder, a short explanation of what is displayed:

CY	= country
SOA	= number of different SOAs found in the Top level domain
COUNTED	= number of hosts found
DUPL	= number of hosts found more than once (multiple A records with the
	same address)
REAL	= COUNTED - DUPL, the real number of machines found
CHANGE	= change since last time.

- All output again available from ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount

- A rather detailes history appended again below.

Enjoy,

-Marten

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.
