RIPE DNS Hostcount November 1993

Hi folks,

Please find below the RIPE DNS hostcount for November 1993.

- a few countries went down (ES and HR), probably due to connectivity
problems.

- it seems that in Europe, the UK has taken over first place from
Germany (DE).

- overall an increase of over 33,000 to 533,701 or a 6.7% incease from
last month's count.

- we are currently using the hostcount output (all the zones) to
analyse the address usage in each of the top level domains. This is
basically a breakdown of class A,B and C and the average usage on each
of them. This is done for the IETF ALE working group. If you wish to
have a copy of this, get on the ale list, or send me a private mail.
For the ALE list, send a request to: ipv4-ale-request@localhost

- also, we have run some tests to do the hostcount not only for
Europe, but to include all other top level domains as well. This is
both done to test the hostcount program, and to compare to the Zone
overview as produced by Mark Lottor every quarter. Because these
figures are used more and more to predict the growth rate of the
Internet, we feel that one needs at least two different measurements
for accurate figures.
Our current thinking is that we will do a full worldwide DNS count
in the X-mas period.

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

- history again appended.

Enjoy,

-Marten

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.
