Hostcount for November 1997

[Mirjam Kuehne <]

Dear all,

Here is the hostcount for November 1997. 

The table shows an increase since last month of over 260,000 (or 4.9%) 
to a total of almost 5,700,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and
surrounding areas.

DE shows the highest increase for November with more than 80,000 (!) hosts
more than in October.

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 interested in the historic hostcount data, bunyip
Information Services is hosting the complete set of data since 1994
under

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