- Some infomation about Internet. Singapore has 1365 hosts connected to
- the Internet as January 93. What if all the PCs on all campus networks
- get an IP address with an entry in the Domain Name System? My guess the
- number might be over 6000.

- Frequently Asked Questions about the Domain Survey
-
- Are all those hosts really on the Internet?
- You would have to ping them to find out. If they each took 100
- milliseconds to reply to a ping, you could find out in only 37 hours.
-
- How many users are on the Internet?
- Some people estimate around 10 per host (13 million people).
- If all of them were appropriately registered, the birthday-daemon
- would have to deliver 35,616 email messages each day.
