Statistics from information services for December 2000: Please read the notes at the end of this report for important information on how the data was gathered and how it can be compared to other months. World-Wide Web Servers (www.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu): 40,217,188 total transactions, -14% 23,378 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), +18% 54,629 from UK SLIP/PPP users, +16% 17,005,112 from UK campus network workstations, -26% 260,773 from local indexing 22,873,296 from the Internet, -1% Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu): 252,496 total transactions, -20% 187,879 from CMS servers & users (ukcc.uky.edu), -18% 176 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -41% 62,942 from UK campus network workstations, -23% 1,499 from the Internet, -28% (most Internet access is through the servers at ukcc.uky.edu) Gopher Server (gopher.uky.edu): 25,699 total transactions, -7% 18,974 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), -1% 1 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -67% 937 UK campus network workstations, -27% 5,787 from the Internet, -20% View (ukcc.uky.edu): 58 total transactions, -22% This is for the now retired View system. View applications have been moved to the web. This does not count the anonymous View login services, which use the web and are counted above. 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 436,344 351,476 14,545 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 795 0% BeOS 1,104 0% AOL 963,397 2% FreeBSD 1,515 0% Charlotte 670 0% Linux 126,122 0% Lynx 374 0% Macintosh 1,535,371 4% Mozilla 15,707 0% OS/2 2,321 0% MSIE_1 2,540 0% PalmOS 0 0% MSIE_2 3,869 0% Unix 110,482 0% MSIE_3 116,955 0% VM/CMS 16,098 0% MSIE_4 3,665,354 9% WebTV 49,930 0% MSIE_5 18,861,810 48% Windows 108,379 0% MSIE_6 2,253 0% Windows_CE 2,685 0% Netscape_1 1,764 0% Windows_NT 7,880,481 20% Netscape_2 17,712 0% Windows_3.1 16,541 0% Netscape_3 834,711 2% Windows_95 10,484,045 27% Netscape_4.x 8,541,335 22% Windows_98 17,180,569 44% Netscape_4.0x 4,776,485 12% Other 1,871,860 5% Netscape_6 242,885 1% No_Data 829,685 Opera 17,301 0% Total 40,217,188 WebTV 49,930 0% Other 1,271,656 3% No_Data 829,685 Total 40,217,188 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. The figures are total transactions with a daily average. Est. Avg. Gopher View Total Daily 1. HRS 370 1 371 12.2 2. Grants 379 1 380 12.5 3. Netnews 232 1 233 7.6 4. Census 160 0 160 5.3 5. Weather 154 0 154 5.1 Notes The services covered here are the World-Wide Web, Gopher, Qi/Ph Directory, and CMS View. 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 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 are largely unaffected however. 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 7060 (gopher.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu) under VM/ESA. Additional Web service is provided by the IBM 7060 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.
