Hostcount for August 1997

[Mirjam Kuehne <]

Dear all,

Here is the hostcount for August 1997. 

The table shows an increase since last month of almost 115,000 (or 2.4%) 
to a total of almost 5,000,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and
surrounding areas.

The UK shows the highest increase for August with more than 23,000 hosts
more than in July.

Quite a few zones show a decrease this time. In AT one of the large
ISP's did not allow a zone transfer. We hope we can convince them to
allow it again next month. 

FI showed a huge increase last month. Now they've lost more than
17,000 hosts.

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/hostcount.html

If you are intersted in the historic hostcount data, bunyip
Information Services is hosting the complete set of data since 1994
under

	ftp://ftp.bunyip.com/pub/netstats/ripe


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