Hostcount for November 1996

[Mirjam Kuehne <]

Dear all,

Here is the hostcount for November 1996. 

The table shows an increase since last month of over 82,000 (or 2.5%) 
to a total of almost 3,450,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe.

The UK shows the highest increase for November with more than 110,000
hosts more than in October (Remember the amount of hosts in the UK
dropped significantly last month, now it is back to normal :)

In some countries we see quite a significant decrease this month, also
in countries were the hostcount is done remotely. We couldn't find any
explanation for this besides general connectivity problems and servers
not responding. 

Please note that FI consistently loses hosts (hidden behind
firewalls?).

BA is the first time included in the count.


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
	

All this data can also be found at 

                http://www.ripe.net/statistics/


I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount
every month by counting hosts locally:

Please note, that the next hostcount (December 1996) will be published
later than usual, approximately mid January. This is due to my
holidays :) I hope this doesn't cause any inconveniences. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,
