Summary
Akamai Technologies
cdn security edge
A core Akamai Autonomous System (AKAMAI). Akamai runs one of the oldest and most
widely distributed CDNs, with edge servers embedded deep inside thousands of
networks worldwide.
What it's used for
- Caching and accelerating content, plus DDoS/WAF security, for large enterprises, media, banks, and software vendors.
Notable
- An Akamai IP is an edge server, not the customer origin behind it.
- Akamai uses many ASNs (e.g. AS20940 Akamai International); which one announces a given prefix varies by network and history.
Interesting
- Akamai grew out of late-1990s MIT research on serving content during massive traffic spikes ("flash crowds").
