Here are the statistics for the use of network information servers for
July 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.
 
Gopher (gopher.uky.edu):
  83,520 total transactions, -3%
  23,910 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), -6%
  17,048 UK campus network workstations, +12%
  42,562 from the Internet, -5%
 
World-Wide Web (www.uky.edu):
  62,021 total transactions, -7%
   1,326 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu) - experimental
  28,356 UK campus network workstations, -13%
  32,339 from the Internet, -5%
 
Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu):
  10,868 total transactions, +17%
   2,472 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), +49%
   1,508 UK campus network workstations, +52%
   6,888 from the Internet, +4%
 
View (ukcc.uky.edu only):
  85,368 total transactions, -7%
   4,653 from anonymous View ids, -1%
 
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.
 
 
The Hit Parade
 
These were the most used items on the Gopher and View services. (Some
of this activity is from Web clients.) These figures are total trans-
actions with a daily average.
