cdn edge security
One of Akamai's Autonomous Systems (AKAMAI-AS). Akamai runs one of the oldest
and most widely distributed content delivery networks, with edge servers
embedded deep inside thousands of ISP networks worldwide.
What it's used for
- Caching and accelerating web content, media, software downloads, and APIs for large enterprises, banks, media companies, and software vendors.
Notable
- An IP here identifies an Akamai edge node, not the origin operator whose content it is serving.
- Akamai announces from many ASNs; siblings include AS20940 (Akamai International), [AS24319](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS24319) (Tokyo edge), and [AS26008](https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS26008) (former Nominum DNS/security).
Interesting
- Akamai grew out of late-1990s MIT research on serving content during massive traffic spikes ("flash crowds").
