Statistics from information services for October 1999: Important Note! The major changes to the upper-level pages on www.uky.edu in October 1998 make it difficult to relate this month's total transactions to earlier figures. The initial page and many of the upper-level pages now make many references for images and scripts, greatly inflating the total number of transactions, but indicative of the increased load created. The figures in the WWW Hit Parade below are largely unaffected by this. World-Wide Web Servers (www.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu): 41,269,841 total transactions, +5% 29,566 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), +46% 96,653 from UK SLIP/PPP users, +7% 23,094,538 from UK campus network workstations, +6% 10,881 from local indexing 18,038,203 from the Internet, +3% Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu): 298,859 total transactions, -5% 212,764 from CMS users & servers (ukcc.uky.edu), -2% 510 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -16% 83,258 from UK campus network workstations, -12% 2,327 from the Internet, n.c. Gopher Server (gopher.uky.edu): 40,046 total transactions, +9% 24,045 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), +12% 16 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -62% 2,913 UK campus network workstations, -2% 13,072 from the Internet, +5% View (ukcc.uky.edu): 1,309 total transactions, -5% 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 pages on the main Web servers (www.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu). Web client access to the Gopher server is counted below with the other Gopher counts. The count for the Computer Labs is exaggerated because the lab computers are configured to use that page as home. Daily Rank Category Total Non-UK Mean 1. Scripts 497,402 396,422 16,580 2.

Information recorded includes the version of the browser used and the operating system under which it was running. Some servers are not recording the information and for various reasons some transactions will not have browser information available. The percentages below are the portion of the transactions for which browser information was available. Note that the information recorded is provided by the browsers and in some cases may not be correct. iCab 387 0% BeOS 720 0% Charlotte 3,108 0% FreeBSD 2,499 0% Lynx 2,111 0% Linux 73,002 0% MSIE 1 280 0% Macintosh 1,880,270 5% MSIE 2 55,016 0% PalmOS 5 0% MSIE 3 866,505 2% Unix 135,156 0% MSIE 4 6,829,406 17% VM/CMS 17,761 0% MSIE 5 7,121,853 18% Windows 230,856 1% Netscape 1 14,304 0% Windows CE 1,206 0% Netscape 2 89,384 0% Windows NT 12,993,252 32% Netscape 3 2,398,079 6% Windows 95 15,748,383 39% Netscape 4 22,166,091 55% Windows 98 8,296,598 21% Netscape 5 70 0% Other 851,753 2% Opera 13,148 0% No Data 1,038,380 Other 671,719 2% Total 41,269,841 No Data 1,038,380 Total 41,269,841 The Gopher Hit Parade These were the most used items on the Gopher and View services. 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. The figures are total transactions with a daily average. Est. Avg. Gopher View Total Daily 1. Classes&Registrar 808 26 834 27.4 2. Grants 656 21 677 22.3 3. Netnews 542 18 560 18.4 4.

CMS View is available only to local CMS users (the anonymous View service uses the CMS Web browser). 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 local users. Web client software (like Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer) 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 clients is the most complex because of the number of protocols they support. A document on a 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 transactions. Most Web requests from www.uky.edu are for building the index used by our search service. Qi/Ph transactions are searches and requests for additional information. The primary Web server is running on an IBM PC Server 704 (www.uky.edu) using the Apache server under FreeBSD. The primary campus Gopher and Qi/Ph servers are running on an IBM 9672 (gopher.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu) under VM/ESA. Additional Web service is provided by the IBM 9672 VM/ESA system (ukcc.uky.edu) and others. There are numerous other specialized servers running on these and other machines which are not included here.
