ripe-70 RIPE DNS hostcount Marten Terpstra September 2, 1992 Hostcount once more. Again a nice increase of almost 10,000, to 221951. The only one country going down a bit is Hungary, due to unreachable nameservers. We welcome Great-Brittain (.gb) in the European networking scene ;-) Unfortunately due to a mistake, the files with all zone output are unavailable this time. They will return next month. Some people have suggested that parts of this hostcount could be done distributed, to get more accurate figures, and keep network load as low as possible. I am happy to discuss a scheme for this at the next RIPE meeting. Some people have requested to have the history of the hostcounts distributed with the hostcount every month, to keep track of what has passed over the months/years. You can find the previous hostcounts below the hostcount for August. Unfortunately, some of the counts are missing, mainly in the period when I did this still at NIKHEF. Also some of the earliest counts may not be as reliable as the last year or so. Much has changed to the program.
