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").
