Thread: "akamai" servers.

Hello, have a ask almost the akamai servers that are utilized all over the group I hear. From what I make scholarly they are utilised mainly for downloads similar updates for microsoft, norton, ect.I'm using a boat sniffer to view the interchange here in a little LAN. In this program I can see removed I.P. tact traffic & akamai is in the top ten with 97% of packets outgoing & exclusive 3% incoming. I would cerebrate it to be honorable the word.Could anyone here vindicate this to me?

Thank you,

Akamai is utilised for author than microsoft updates, nortan ect.I use it on a few sites. it basically keeps a buffer of ur css, images, etc. on servers all around there experience and updates them periodacally with your principal computer (from what i read) and is relatively tasteless to falsehood a radical setup, 2.95 a period i opine i pay per site.As for the connections, im not trusty though.

Thanks for the message. I upright question If someone is using those servers, suchlike advertisers that accumulate info from p.c.'s, to get the collection they hoard?I'll dungeon searching. Hate it when I slant image something out. Could rightful be our society computer. We are component of a VPN here.

I norm - i personally consider 97% is to altissimo for practice acamai outbound connections (from what u described).But it could be users accessing websites that are cached with acamai ? im not reliable how umpteen users you someone or how reasonable the 97% would sound though.

There are about 23 users in this LAN. Whatever of them are constantly watching sports videos, shopping online & downloading pics, recieving e-mail attachments...... Thats why I use the software I do to at minimal try to blockade as often as I can. I set up a connection in the gateway with an old 900 mhz p.c. to do this... sometimes the requests are too untold for this statement & it shuts kill... Cant hold the reciprocation.

Hey,Did you ever statement of using a escaped coupling equivalent opendns.org to separate cyberspace traffic?

Thanks You!
