Here are the statistics for the use of network information servers for May 1994. This includes World-Wide Web (www.uky.edu), Gopher (gopher.uky.edu), Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu), and CMS View. CMS View is available only to CMS users - either using their own userid or by logging on to one of the anonymous View userids. The other services are available to workstations with campus ethernet access or terminals on multi-user systems with appropriate software. Most of these services are available world-wide over the Internet. Web clients (like Mosaic) can use all of these services, Gopher clients can use all but the Web services, and Ph and Eudora clients can use Qi/Ph services. (We distribute versions of most of these for Macintosh, Windows, and some Unix platforms.) Tracking Mosaic use is the most complex because of the number of protocols it supports. A document on the Web server can refer the client to another Web document, a Gopher item, or Qi/Ph search without the Mosaic user's awareness. The transaction counts are counts of Gopher and View menu picks - when someone picks an item from a View or Gopher menu that is one transaction. A transaction could lead to a document, a search, or another menu. Web transactions are for documents and searches. What the Mosaic user sees as a single document might involve multiple server accesses. Qi/Ph transactions are searches and requests for additional information. There was a slight decrease in traffic in May for most services, probably because of the end of the semester. Web traffic continues to increase though. Gopher (gopher.uky.edu): 72,212 total transactions, down 4% 20,099 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), no change 9,481 UK campus network workstations, down 20% 42,632 from the Internet, down 3% World-Wide Web (www.uky.edu): 51,550 total transactions, up 22% 107 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu) - experimental 25,339 UK campus network workstations, up 6% 26,104 from the Internet, up 43% Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu): 10,902 total transactions, down 43% 1,546 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), down 40% 970 UK campus network workstations, down 40% 8,386 from the Internet, down 44% View (ukcc.uky.edu only): 77,470 total transactions, down 20% 5,087 from anonymous View ids, down 8% The servers are used 24 hours each day from all over the world, but most use is from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm, with a concentration from 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm Eastern Time.
