Dear all, Here comes the hostcount for November 1995. The table shows an increase since last month of over 71,000 (or 3.7%) to a total of 1,999,997 (!) hosts in the DNS in Europe. We leave the 2 Million boundary as a Christmas present :-) The german zone shows a decrease again of more than 13,000 hosts. The reason is that two zones that usually show a very high host number are not listed this time. This means almost 35,000 hosts are missing. We have one new zone: md (Republic of Moldova) that starts with 10 hosts in 5 zones. The UK shows again the highest increase with over 23,000 hosts more than in October. 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 Panagiotis Tzounakis <pj@ics.forth.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 <hostmaster@nic.ja.net> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
