Folks, hostcount time once more. Comments: - This was the first time that some countries were counted not at the NCC, but within the country. The UK and DE have been counted by ULCC and DE-NIC, and the output collected at the NCC. As you will see, this has increased counts for both countries quite significantly, especially the UK. If anyone besides these two is interested to do the hostcount for their country, please send me a message. (One per country please ....) - All went up nicely, except for GR. I have tried GR once extra, but no improvements were made. Total increase just over 22,000. - Total is now over 254,000, which is roughly 22 percent of the global count, taken from the October zone survey done by Mark Lottor of SRI. His count comes to 1,136,000 hosts worldwide. - History is again appended below. - Again all output can be found on ftp.ripe.net:/ripe/hostcount Cheers, -Marten RIPE DNS Hostcount Previous Count : Fri Sep 26 1992 This Count : Sat Oct 31 1992 CY SOA COUNTED DUPL REAL CHANGE ============================================================ al 1 0 0 0 0 at 184 7619 43 7576 + 566 be 21 1671 63 1608 + 91 bg 1 0 0 0 0 by 0 0 0 0 0 ch 99 20987 168 20819 + 1413 cs 17 898 68 830 + 819 de 935 56147 1168 54979 + 2701 dk 75 4678 46 4632 + 267 dz 0 0 0 0 0 ee 7 60 0 60 + 3 es 162 5114 85 5029 + 831 fi 144 18542 164 18378 + 1141 fr 307 21396 362 21034 + 1461 gb 1 2 0 2 0 gr 38 498 137 361 - 173 hr 0 0 0 0 0 hu 9 173 2 171 + 52 ie 18 920 11 909 + 70 is 12 680 7 673 + 123 it 177 6106 183 5923 + 1141 il 41 3383 56 3327 + 228 lt 1 0 0 0 0 lu 5 90 0 90 + 12 lv 1 0 0 0 0 nl 270 22760 396 22364 + 1126 no 332 16743 232 16511 + 1041 pl 60 804 10 794 + 125 pt 53 1627 4 1623 + 264 ro 0 0 0 0 0 se 344 23736 212 23524 + 722 si 1 0 0 0 0 su 127 47 0 47 + 19 tn 2 9 0 9 0 ua 0 0 0 0 0 uk 365 49203 5902 43301 + 8020 va 0 0 0 0 0 yu 2 11 0 11 0 ============================================================ 3812 263904 9319 254585 +22063 History Oct 1990 31724 Nov 1990 33665 Dec 1990 29230 Jan 1991 43832 Feb 1991 - Mar 1991 44506 Apr 1991 46948 May 1991 - Jun 1991 63267 Jul 1991 - Aug 1991 73069 Sep 1991 92834 Oct 1991 104824 Nov 1991 129652 Dec 1991 - Jan 1992 - Feb 1992 161434 Mar 1992 167939 Apr 1992 170050 May 1992 182528 Jun 1992 196758 Jul 1992 213017 Aug 1992 221951 Sep 1992 232522 Oct 1992 254585
