Use continues to grow, with access from campus workstations to WWW nearly doubling and to Whois/Ph nearly tripling compared to January. Statistics from information services for February 1995: World-Wide Web Server (www.uky.edu): 270,799 total transactions, +61% 5,868 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu) +46% 129,846 UK campus network workstations, +98% 135,085 from the Internet, +37% Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu): 118,173 total transactions, +2% 60,051 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), -6% 20,758 UK campus network workstations, +163% 37,364 from the Internet, -15% Gopher Server (gopher.uky.edu): 171,156 total transactions, +11% 40,549 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), +1% 41,638 UK campus network workstations, +24% 88,969 from the Internet, +10% View (ukcc.uky.edu only): 120,981 total transactions, +1% 7,401 from anonymous View ids, -2% 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 WWW Hit Parade These were the most popular items on the Web server. Web client access to the Gopher server is counted below.

The View estimates are based on the total number of View and Gopher service accesses. For individual View items the actual counts may be much higher or lower.

Notes The services covered here are the World-Wide Web, Gopher, Qi/Ph Directory, 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, although some data is restricted to UK users. Web clients (like Mosaic and Netscape) 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 Web client use is the most complex because of the number of protocols they support. A document on the Web server can refer the client to another Web document, a Gopher item, or Qi/Ph search without the client 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 counts as one transaction. A transaction could lead to a document, a search, or another menu. Web transactions are for documents and searches. What the Web user sees as a single page might involve multiple server accesses. Qi/Ph transactions are searches and requests for additional information. The primary campus Gopher and Qi/Ph servers are running on an IBM 3090 (gopher.uky.edu or ukcc.uky.edu) under VM/ESA. The primary Web server is running on an HP 9000/800 G30 (www.uky.edu) under Unix. Additional Web service is provided by the IBM 3090 VM/ESA system and the Convex Metasystem (convex.cc.uky.edu).
