Dear all, Please find below the (belated) RIPE DNS hostcount for February 1994. - Big increase like last month of over 36,000 (or 6.1%) to 623141. Similar to the last few months, a doubling in slightly over a year (322,902 in February 1993). - All output is again available at ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount. The large output files have been gzipped this time, to save some disk space and network bandwidth. History again appended below. Cheers, -Marten PS The recipient of this mail has been changed to a group list which cannot be replied to.

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.
