Dear all, Here is the complete hostcount for February 1996. I am sorry for the delay. The table shows an increase since last month of more than 120,000 (or 5.3%) to a total of more than 2,406,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe. The UK shows the highest increase for February with more than 24,000 hosts more than in January (Hence, my assumption was wrong that DE would make it this month :-). As I mentioned in my previous mail SM (San Marino) is a new zone and will from now on be inlcuded every month in the hostcount. 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 <winkler@cc.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 Annie Renard <Annie.Renard@inria.fr> gr Panagiotis Tzounakis <pj@ics.forth.gr> hr Ivan Maric <Ivan.Maric@stribor.srce.hr> hu Gabor Kiss <kissg@sztaki.hu> 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> pl Irek Neska <irek@nask.pl> 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> sm Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito@nis.garr.it> tr Yener Yigit <yener@knidos.cc.metu.edu.tr> uk Kevin Hoadley <K.Hoadley@nosc.ja.net> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
