RIPE DNS Hostcount October 1993

  • To: RIPE Discussion List ripe-list@localhost

Dear folks,

Please find below the RIPE DNS hoctcount for October 1993.

- we have reached 500,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe, this means that the
number of hosts in the DNS in Europe has doubled in exactly 1 year (254,000 in
October 1992)

- Germany is the first European country to reach 100,000, they doubled the
number of hosts in 13 months (52,000 in Sep 1992)

- some countries went down after initial count; they have been recounted (in
order to reach 500,000 ;-)

- Macedonia (MK) has been left out of this count (sorry, forgot), but will be
included in the next one. For those interested, there are no hosts currently
in the DNS for MK.

- All output again on ftp.ripe.net:ripe/hostcount

- detailed history appended below.

- also, a short description of the various columns appended below.

Enjoy,

-Marten

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.

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 reliable.

*) Dec 1991 hostcount estimated at 135,000.
