Important for RIPE 14 hotel bookings !!
by Marten Terpstra 04 Jan '93

04 Jan '93

Dear folks, Despite of what was mentioned earlier in the announcement and my latest message in the hostcount, hotel reservations must be in before January 8, so January 7th at the latest. **************************************************************** * For reasons beyond our control, a list of the KRYSTAL * * hotel guests must be completed on January 8, 1993, i.e. * * one day sooner than originally planned. Therefore, we * * must ask those of you who have not sent us their * * Accomodation Requests so far but who wish to take * * advantage of the special price in KRYSTAL, to register * * as soon as possible. We cannot accept any requests for * * accomodation which are delivered to us after January 7, * * 1993. We regret any inconvenience which this may cause * * to the RIPE members. * * * * Best regards, * * Organisers of the RIPE Meeting in Prague * ****************************************************************

RIPE DNS Hostcount December 1992
by Marten Terpstra 04 Jan '93

04 Jan '93

Friends, First of all, best wishes for 1993 once more. Below the last hostcount for 1992. Not much comments, just that CS and FI went down a bit, probably due to unreachable nameservers. Overall a nice increase of 12,500 to over 284,000. We have some catching up to do to reach 300,000 at the next RIPE meeting. Again the entire history is appended below, and all the output files can be fetched again from ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount Before I forget, anyone who wishes to have their hotel for the next RIPE meeting to be reserved by the people in Prague, should send in the registration form before the end of this week. Also people who arrange their own hotel, but will be present at the RIPE meeting should send in a line to meeting(a)ripe.net, so that we and the people in Prague have some estimate on the number of people that will attend for all logistics.

Happy New Year from IP connected Bulgaria

I guess we made it in 1992! Still not very reliable, but if you have some luck, you may try either Varna.BG.EU.net (134.222.7.2), or 192.92.129.1 (should be danbo.digsys.bg) some day soon... Best Wishes from Bulgaria! Daniel

Re: NSFnet stats
by Susan Horvath 28 Dec '92

Olivier, Yes, CA*NET and the CERN traffic to NSFNET were still on the T1 in November. We did register some data losses with the T3 traffic-by-network data in early November, but I suspect that most of the differences that you noted were due to the fact that much of the international traffic did not cross the T3 backbone. Even though the Country report is explicitly labelled as representing only the T3 traffic, I can understand the likelihood of misinterpretation and have removed the report from nic.merit.edu. The upcoming December report should be complete, and I don't expect any problems. If you find something that doesn't make sense, please let me know, and we'll try to track it down.

I suspect Olivier is right. One of Ireland's two Internet gateways reports external traffic as 4.5 Gbytes for Nov 92; it is reckoned that most of this traffic is with and via NSFnet. Hank reports 1.6 Gbytes to and from Ireland, and this may not include some VMnet stuff, but Ireland's other gateway is for NetNews, which seems to average about 1 Gbyte a month or more. I hope you have had a happy Christmas and will have a prosperous new year. Cheers. Mike (voice: +353.1.612748)

On Sun, 20 Dec 92 11:14:29 IST you said: >Just to let everyone know that the NSFnet now has stats by port and >country. The info can be found in nis.nsf.net (nsfnet/statistics/1992 >t3-9211.country and t3-9211.ports) and I post below the country stats. >Thanks to all involved who have listened and have worked to make this >happen: > > > <NIC.MERIT.EDU> /nsfnet/statistics/1992/t3-9211.country >............................................................................. I am very sorry to appear as a trouble maker once more but I have very serious doubts about the accuracy of the traffic figures below with respect to the countries served by the CERN-Cornell T1 line in november 1992. With regard to October 92, we measures 34 GBytes for traffic US<-->NL for example, which is twice as much as what is indicated below, and I can give other examples, e.g. Italy, Switzerland, Austria where the statistics below appear to be seriously wrong, i.e. by a factor 2 at least! The only explanation I can offer is that the CERN-Cornell line was still connected to the NSFnet T1 backbone last month, as was also the case for CA*NET, which probably explain why CANADA is less active than Iceland, whereas I remember Canada ranking 2nd some time ago! I personally have nothing against Iceland or Lapeland, but I hope that the december 92 figure will be more accurate, following the dismantling of the T1 backbone on december 2. Since any traffic statistics, in particular the intercontinental ones, may be exploited for purposes other than purely technical ones, I would very much appreciate that due mention of the possible inaccuracy of the traffic figures for some European countries be explicitely and publicly mentioned. With my advance thanks. Let me also take this opportunity to wish you all a merry xmas and a very happy new year. > ************************************************************************* > > > NSFNET T3 Traffic Distribution by Country > > November 1992 > Percentages Bytes Bytes In To Out From In Out Nets Country Backbone Backbone ==== ===================== ============== ============== ===== ===== 3626 United States 3874759959550 3509503835000 94.84 85.90 150 Australia 37408344600 57199677950 0.92 1.40 41 Finland 32903180050 22675528900 0.81 0.56 45 Sweden 25272340250 28260920050 0.62 0.69 183 United Kingdom 21508921150 80004317700 0.53 1.96 274 Germany 21362364850 61922783000 0.52 1.52 161 Japan 11637747450 16709804550 0.28 0.41 244 France 10531128850 28654549850 0.26 0.70 29 Norway 7909722350 19900125850 0.19 0.49 3 Iceland 5589222550 17681731950 0.14 0.43 4054 (unrecognized origin) 4538228200 13944473600 0.11 0.34 236 Canada 4429599450 67898239000 0.11 1.66 13 Mexico 3749162950 11148620950 0.09 0.27 18 Israel 3428805000 11403356100 0.08 0.28 76 Netherlands 3223535450 12769613900 0.08 0.31 6 Denmark 3004141700 10302597950 0.07 0.25 28 Korea 2658757950 10321332850 0.07 0.25 55 Switzerland 2060560500 10566275100 0.05 0.26 Olivier
