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.
Interesting
- Akamai grew out of late-1990s MIT research on serving content during massive traffic spikes ("flash crowds").

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
28 upstream, 0 downstream and 49 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-16, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
