Internet Host Count Stand Juli 1995

Internet Domain Survey Network Wizards July 1995

The Domain Survey attempts to discover every host on the Internet by doing
a complete search of the Domain Name System. The latest results gathered
during late July 1995 are listed. For more information see RFC 1296;
for more data see the zone directory on ftp.nw.com, or nw.com .
