Statistics from information services for November 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): 42,176,781 total transactions, +2% 23,423 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), -21% 88,587 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -8% 24,195,871 from UK campus network workstations, +5% 10,222 from local indexing 17,858,678 from the Internet, -1% Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu): 275,884 total transactions, -8% 192,453 from CMS users & servers (ukcc.uky.edu), -10% 515 from UK SLIP/PPP users, +1% 80,869 from UK campus network workstations, -3% 2,047 from the Internet, -12% Gopher Server (gopher.uky.edu): 35,674 total transactions, -11% 21,442 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), -11% 18 from UK SLIP/PPP users, +13% 3,025 UK campus network workstations, +4% 11,189 from the Internet, -14% View (ukcc.uky.edu): 1,511 total transactions, +15% 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 483,287 375,892 16,110 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 752 0% BeOS 608 0% Charlotte 2,767 0% FreeBSD 1,956 0% Lynx 2,305 0% Linux 72,894 0% MSIE 1 261 0% Macintosh 1,829,253 4% MSIE 2 50,495 0% PalmOS 0 0% MSIE 3 758,537 2% Unix 139,095 0% MSIE 4 6,693,431 16% VM/CMS 12,943 0% MSIE 5 7,614,042 19% Windows 196,072 0% Netscape 1 11,441 0% Windows CE 453 0% Netscape 2 71,707 0% Windows NT 13,008,257 32% Netscape 3 2,043,403 5% Windows 95 16,193,363 39% Netscape 4 23,276,121 57% Windows 98 8,787,107 21% Netscape 5 193 0% Other 841,471 2% Opera 11,241 0% No Data 1,093,309 Other 546,776 1% Total 42,176,781 No Data 1,093,309 Total 42,176,781 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 704 30 734 24.1 2. Netnews 602 25 627 20.6 3. Grants 533 23 556 18.3 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.
