About this network

One of Akamai's core Autonomous Systems. Akamai runs one of the oldest and most widely distributed CDNs, with edge servers embedded deep inside thousands of networks.

What it's used for

• Caching and accelerating content for large enterprises, media companies, banks, and software vendors.
• Edge security (WAF, bot management) and software/game download distribution.

Notable

• Akamai's model is extreme distribution — tens of thousands of edge servers inside ISP networks — so an Akamai IP is usually very close to the requester.
• Akamai acquired Linode in 2022; Linode/Akamai cloud compute is a distinct product and may announce from other ASNs.

Interesting

• Akamai grew out of MIT research in the late 1990s on how to serve content reliably during massive traffic spikes ("flash crowds").
