Summary
Akamai Technologies
cdn edge
One of Akamai's Autonomous Systems (AKAMAI). Akamai runs one of the oldest and
most widely distributed content-delivery networks, with edge servers embedded
deep inside thousands of networks.
What it's used for
- Caching and accelerating content, plus edge security, for large enterprises, media, banks, and software vendors.
Notable
- Akamai's model is extreme distribution, so an Akamai IP is usually very close to the requester. Akamai runs many ASNs — see [AS20940](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS20940).
Interesting
- Akamai grew out of late-1990s MIT research on serving content during massive traffic spikes ("flash crowds").
