Statistics from information services for December 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): 34,341,914 total transactions, -16% 23,754 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), +1% 93,130 from UK SLIP/PPP users, +5% 17,419,834 from UK campus network workstations, -28% 7,935 from local indexing 16,797,261 from the Internet, -6% Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu): 222,546 total transactions, -19% 156,075 from CMS users & servers (ukcc.uky.edu), -19% 372 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -28% 63,925 from UK campus network workstations, -20% 2,174 from the Internet, +6% Gopher Server (gopher.uky.edu): 33,782 total transactions, -5% 22,494 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), +5% 29 from UK SLIP/PPP users, +61% 2,366 UK campus network workstations, -22% 8,893 from the Internet, -21% View (ukcc.uky.edu): 1,083 total transactions, -28% 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 409,960 342,950 13,665 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 1,008 0% BeOS 360 0% AOL 750,952 2% FreeBSD 3,193 0% Charlotte 1,783 0% Linux 66,532 0% Lynx 1,852 0% Macintosh 1,383,091 4% MSIE_1 531 0% OS/2 9,574 0% MSIE_2 11,064 0% PalmOS 35 0% MSIE_3 526,410 2% Unix 128,223 0% MSIE_4 5,641,467 17% VM/CMS 13,975 0% MSIE_5 7,009,006 21% WebTV 46,937 0% Netscape_1 10,090 0% Windows 107,357 0% Netscape_2 56,847 0% Windows_CE 573 0% Netscape_3 1,591,457 5% Windows_NT 8,930,405 27% Netscape_4 17,259,564 51% Windows_3.1 36,174 0% Netscape_5 62 0% Windows_95 13,281,507 40% Opera 12,516 0% Windows_98 8,788,358 26% WebTV 46,937 0% Other 806,761 2% Other 681,509 2% No_Data 738,859 No_Data 738,859 Total 34,341,914 Total 34,341,914 The Gopher Hit Parade Gopher and View services have been mostly phased out, but some items are still delivered to web browsers through Gopher servers.

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.
