Internet Society Press Release
4 August 1994 (rev.)
--Reston VA, USA. One of the most basic continuing measurements of the size of the Internet was released yesterday. For more than ten years, the Internet has been measured almost every quarter by the number of host computers reachable. This is a key value because one of the most fundamental capabilities of the Internet is to directly link virtually any kind of computer across almost any kind of telecommunication medium. The measurement is described in the Internet document RFC 1296.
The latest measurement - sometimes referred to as "the Internet Walk" - shows 3.2 million reachable machines. This is an increase of 81 percent for the past year, and represents an even steeper than normal increase over the past six months. Indeed, 1 million new hosts were added during the first six months of 1994. Much of the increased growth is attributable to growth outside the USA in more than 80 countries. These values are shown in the attached annex.
The so-called Internet Domain Survey is the product of Mark Lottor of Network Wizards. The Domain Survey attempts to discover every host on the Internet by doing a complete search of the Domain Name System. The latest results were gathered during late-July 1994 are listed below. For more detailed data see the zone directory on ftp.nw.com, or the Net Wizards World Wide Web home page at http://www.nw.com
