RIPE DNS Hostcount September 1994

Folks, below the RIPE DNS Hostcount for September 1994. - some people aksed why CS has shows less hosts every month, but that is of course because the CS domain has been split into SK and CZ and slowyly moving everything away from CS. - this months increase is a nice 53,000 or 6.8% to 888,000. This brings the increase for the past quarter to 16.8%. - historical overview appended below - all output and more detailed explanation of method of counting and the various columns below on ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount. -Marten RIPE DNS Hostcount Previous Count : Wed Aug 31 1994 This Count : Fri Sep 30 1994 CY SOA COUNTED DUPL REAL CHANGE ============================================================ al 2 0 0 0 0 at 459 24162 834 23328 + 1307 az 1 0 0 0 0 be 189 14623 233 14390 + 1110 bg 14 112 20 92 + 9 by 1 0 0 0 0 ch 331 53379 408 52971 + 2734 cs 20 1267 48 1219 - 605 cy 9 46 4 42 + 2 cz 128 7025 36 6989 - 592 de 2372 175885 5331 170554 +10540 dk 270 14519 479 14040 + 1251 dz 2 8 0 8 + 8 ee 40 997 4 993 + 249 eg 4 135 0 135 + 135 es 402 22643 185 22458 + 714 fi 475 60052 1106 58946 + 6569 fo 1 0 0 0 0 fr 991 78780 1085 77695 + 2829 gb 1 24 0 24 + 1 ge 1 0 0 0 0 gr 165 3507 221 3286 + 281 hr 72 1004 15 989 + 148 hu 89 6200 36 6164 + 162 ie 79 3985 69 3916 + 396 il 168 9276 164 9112 + 1318 is 72 3769 36 3733 + 332 it 656 27578 609 26969 + 1526 li 4 30 3 27 0 lt 10 84 0 84 + 19 lu 22 452 2 450 + 13 lv 17 235 2 233 + 22 ma 1 0 0 0 0 mk 1 0 0 0 0 mt 1 0 0 0 0 nl 651 75861 2059 73802 + 4764 no 671 43651 905 42746 + 2476 pl 324 7764 304 7460 + 461 pt 150 4875 87 4788 + 124 ro 17 429 30 399 + 2 ru 101 1094 110 984 + 275 se 853 64996 1536 63460 + 3912 si 45 1270 30 1240 + 53 sk 69 1159 14 1145 + 29 su 238 4237 246 3991 + 270 tn 3 49 4 45 - 1 tr 56 1894 37 1857 + 173 ua 53 451 49 402 + 38 uk 2184 206728 19496 187232 +10399 va 0 0 0 0 0 yu 3 0 0 0 0 ============================================================ 12488 924235 35837 888398 +53453 This is an overview of the History of the RIPE hostcounts.

Or.... Move the PRIDE course from Wahsington D.C. to MontainView. Hold the class either before (Dec 4) or after (Dec 10). It's hard for us in Asia to justify a trip for a one day event. Tag PRIDE to something like IETF, then it would be easier to attend. Barry > >For the december schedule, I hope you plan on avoiding the IETF31 week >that is 05-09 Dec in MountainView Ca.

04 Oct '94

Announcing the PRIDE courses November 1995 ------------------------------------------ This is a preliminary announcement for the forthcoming one-day PRIDE courses in November 1995. The course will be based around the second edition of the PRIDE guide. The courses are aimed at Internet Service Providers with the following benefits: o Gain a better understanding of routing policy techniques. o Understanding of the concept of a Routing Registry. o Learn how to use/maintain routing policy information in the routing registry. o Learn how to use the PRIDE tools to diagnose and check routing policy problems. o Give Service Providers a chance to feedback ideas on the Routing Registry and the tools that are needed now and in the future. This course will be based on the revised RIPE Routing Registry (ripe-118). It will also give participants a firsthand look at newest developments around the routing registry and associated tools. Participant feedback will be appreciated. For a rough overview about the material covered, please refer to ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pride/docs/guide-1.0.ps.tar.Z. Note that this document refers to the old style RR (ripe-81). The course will be based on the new style RR (ripe-181). This course will be offered at the following locations and dates: Amsterdam November 7th Monday Pisa November 11th Friday London November 14th Monday Vienna November 18th Friday Washington DC first week of December The DC date will be announced as soon as arrangements have been made. The course will be funded by the PRIDE project and thus be free of charge. We might even throw in a free lunch ;-).

The definite details will be announced to those who have reserved by October 14th. Attendees from or sponsored by the PRIDE funding organisations will be given preference.
