Hello all, Please find below the RIPE DNS hostcount for May 1994. Apologies for sending this out late. This mail may be late, the results were gathered at the end of May. - Cyprus (cy) and Greece (gr) have been added to the list of countries where the hostcount statistics are gathered from within the country. - UK still well on top with almost 150,000 machines in the DNS - Overall a 6.1% increase or 41971 machines over last month to 735,317 machines in the DNS in Europe. - Historical overview again appended - all output again available on ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount Cheers, -Marten RIPE DNS Hostcount Previous Count : Sun Apr 30 1994 This Count : Tue May 31 1994 CY SOA COUNTED DUPL REAL CHANGE ============================================================ al 1 0 0 0 0 at 382 19484 617 18867 + 711 az 1 0 0 0 0 be 138 11743 211 11532 + 558 bg 6 77 8 69 + 61 by 1 0 0 0 0 ch 271 45411 453 44958 + 1806 cs 87 2454 145 2309 + 134 cy 8 43 6 37 + 2 cz 138 7073 123 6950 + 779 de 1959 145540 4462 141078 + 3112 dk 189 12150 228 11922 + 2242 dz 2 8 0 8 + 1 dz 2 8 0 8 + 1 ee 29 611 3 608 + 249 eg 4 57 0 57 0 es 402 21510 174 21336 + 3206 fi 385 48711 938 47773 + 3067 fo 1 0 0 0 0 fr 870 71332 1222 70110 + 4913 gb 1 21 0 21 + 1 ge 1 0 0 0 0 gr 137 2830 254 2576 + 335 hr 71 881 12 869 + 61 hu 72 4897 28 4869 + 438 ie 70 3160 69 3091 + 292 il 165 8147 113 8034 + 1271 is 67 3011 21 2990 + 460 it 560 22636 387 22249 + 595 li 4 17 0 17 0 lt 8 32 0 32 + 2 lu 21 404 2 402 + 10 lv 11 179 8 171 + 78 ma 1 0 0 0 0 mk 1 0 0 0 0 mt 1 0 0 0 0 nl 560 55050 719 54331 + 2689 no 581 37901 352 37549 + 783 pl 313 6673 201 6472 + 146 pt 137 4327 60 4267 + 208 ro 28 438 2 436 + 310 se 705 54983 1045 53938 + 2390 si 24 761 13 748 - 25 sk 69 1147 20 1127 + 146 su 199 3427 158 3269 + 202 tn 3 37 2 35 + 7 tr 31 1060 21 1039 + 21 ua 42 290 23 267 + 44 uk 1157 163665 14770 148895 +10665 va 0 0 0 0 0 yu 1 1 0 1 0 ============================================================ 9917 762187 26870 735317 +41971 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.
