Dear all, Please find below the last hostcount for 1995. The table shows an increase since November of almost 200,000 (or 10.0%) to a total of over 2,200,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe. We have not only hit but hurtled past the 2 Million boundary :-) We have a new champion: FI shows the highest increase with over 70,000 hosts more than in November. Certain zones this time have shown a decline in numbers were previously their numbers were seen to increase. This could be due to server neglect :) over Christmas. 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 <Gerhard.Winkler@univie.ac.at> be Herman Moons <Herman.Moons@CS.kuleuven.ac.be> ch Christoph Graf <graf@chx400.switch.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 Benoit Grange <grange@sagres.inria.fr> gr Dimitris Zisiadis <zisiadis@forthnet.gr> hr Ivan Maric <Ivan.Maric@stribor.srce.hr> ie Mike Norris <mnorris@dalkey.hea.ie> il Sason Levi <sason@NetVision.net.il> it Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito@nis.garr.it> no Havard Eidnes <Havard.Eidnes@runit.sintef.no> pt Graca Carvalho <fccn@dns.pt> ru Andrey Dobrotsvetov <adbr@argo.net.kiae.su> sk Ivan Lescak <Ivan.Lescak@Slovakia.EU.net> Lubos Elias <Lubos.Elias@uakom.sk> tr Yener Yigit <yener@knidos.cc.metu.edu.tr> uk JANET NOSC <nosc@nosc.ja.net> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
