Dear all, Please find below another RIPE DNS Hostcount. - some countries went down a little, I did not retry any of them, sorry. - Germany makes another big step with over 4,000 extra hosts - Poland steams up with more than double their previous figure ... - Just as a reminder, a short explanation of what is displayed: CY = country SOA = number of different SOAs found in the Top level domain COUNTED = number of hosts found DUPL = number of hosts found more than once (multiple A records with the same address) REAL = COUNTED - DUPL, the real number of machines found CHANGE = change since last time. - All output again available from ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount - A rather detailes history appended again below. Enjoy, -Marten RIPE DNS Hostcount Previous Count : Tue Aug 31 This Count : Sat Sep 25 CY SOA COUNTED DUPL REAL CHANGE ============================================================ al 1 0 0 0 0 at 247 12324 80 12244 - 648 be 63 5528 89 5439 + 397 bg 1 0 0 0 - 16 by 0 0 0 0 0 ch 176 33334 707 32627 + 863 cs 95 2722 49 2673 - 80 cy 5 32 2 30 0 cz 93 3480 79 3401 + 47 de 1478 99569 3291 96278 + 4258 dk 118 7158 97 7061 + 331 dz 0 0 0 0 0 ee 18 271 0 271 + 63 eg 1 0 0 0 0 es 272 11175 83 11092 + 734 fi 278 28924 695 28229 + 733 fo 1 0 0 0 0 fr 590 47261 633 46628 + 2990 gb 1 16 0 16 + 1 ge 1 0 0 0 0 gr 88 1329 237 1092 - 20 hr 12 193 0 193 - 225 hu 34 1836 11 1825 + 153 ie 45 2015 48 1967 + 78 is 38 1427 13 1414 + 122 it 366 14787 305 14482 + 639 il 88 5796 68 5728 + 121 li 2 17 0 17 0 lt 1 0 0 0 0 lu 12 252 1 251 + 22 lv 1 38 0 38 + 23 mt 1 0 0 0 0 nl 394 38042 386 37656 + 1422 no 420 26508 241 26267 + 622 pl 190 3947 57 3890 + 2683 pt 97 3082 64 3018 + 371 ro 2 17 0 17 + 3 se 460 36015 319 35696 + 474 si 11 484 3 481 + 16 sk 28 475 11 464 + 3 su 146 1009 61 948 + 235 tn 0 0 0 0 0 tr 19 478 2 476 + 29 ua 34 155 10 145 + 16 uk 659 96558 9257 87301 + 1781 va 0 0 0 0 0 yu 1 1 0 1 - 1 ============================================================ 6588 486255 16899 469356 +18240 This is an overview of the History of the RIPE hostcounts. 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.
