Wikimedia Traffic Analysis Report - Operating Systems

Daily averages, based on sample period: 1 Sep 2011 - 30 Sep 2011

This analysis is based on a 1:1000 sampled server log (squids) ⇒ all counts x 1000.
See also: Requests by destination or by origin / Methods / Scripts / Skins / Crawlers / Op.Sys. / Browsers / Google
WMF traffic logging service suffered from server capacity problems in August and September 2011.
Absolute traffic counts for September 2011 are approximatly 19% too low.
Data loss only occurred during peak hours. It therefore may have had different impact for traffic from different parts of the world.
and may have also skewed relative figures like share of traffic per browser or operating system.

The following overview of page requests by operating system is based on the user agent information that accompanies most server requests.
Please note that agent information does not follow strict guidelines and some programs may provide wrong information on purpose.
This report ignores all requests where agent information is missing, or contains any of the following: bot, crawl(er) or spider.
