Hostcount for February 1998

[Mirjam Kuehne <]

Dear all,

Here is the hostcount for February 1998. 

The table shows an increase since last month of almost 140,000 (or 2,3%) 
to a total of over 6,000,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and
surrounding areas.

Be shows the highest increase for February with more than 60,000 hosts
more than in January.

Some of the zones show a significant decrease this month, but we
currently do not have resources to further look into this.

This situation should improve as of next month I will hand this task
over to Lee Wilmot, one of my colleagues. This means that we will have
more resources to analyse anomalies.


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:
