GovAccess#10v2: size and growth-rate of the Internet
Jan. 31, 1994 [corrected an eaddr 2/12]
Please note that this concerns the number of *hosts* -- not the number of
*users*. In the Feb'92 issue of MATRIX NEWS, Quarterman [jsq@tic.com; "JSQ"]
reported that it is reasonable to estimate an average of 3 to 10 users per
host. He chose 5 as a conservative estimate. Or, use your own guesstimate.

Network Information Systems Center January 1994
SRI International Internet Domain Survey
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-January 1994 are listed. For more information see RFC 1296;
for more data see the pub/zone directory on ftp.nisc.sri.com.
