Summary
Akamai (Prolexic)
security cdn edge
The Prolexic DDoS-mitigation network, now part of Akamai. Traffic for protected customers is routed through these scrubbing centers to filter volumetric attacks before clean requests reach the origin.
What it's used for
- Absorbing and cleaning DDoS attack traffic on behalf of customers under Akamai/Prolexic protection.
Notable
- An IP here usually fronts a customer that is under DDoS protection, not Akamai's own content. Akamai's core CDN ASNs include AS20940.
Interesting
- Prolexic pioneered cloud-based DDoS scrubbing in the 2000s; Akamai acquired it in 2014.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
