In this session we look under the covers of Akamai’s Mapping system to show how data and control combine to improve performance across the internet, in local geographies, and in mobile networks.
Webpagetest.org is the de-facto benchmark to measure website performance. However, the many testing options it offers can significantly impact its results, and it has become challenging to decide which ones to use. Based on real-life measurements of popular websites, this presentation explores its repeatability and relevance to help its users define Webpagetest settings that best meet their needs.
Edge 2016 IPv6 is here: the future is nowakamaidevrel
Mobile operators are increasingly shifting to IPv6 - especially in the United States. What does this mean for your web sites' and applications' performance? And how can Akamai help? In this session we'll go over the importance of dual-stacking, and discuss specific customer experiences with enabling IPv6 content via Akamai. This session is part one of a two part session with Facebook's Paul Saab.
Edge 2016 what slows you down - your network or your deviceakamaidevrel
For many years we have concentrated on back-end and network latency and ignored the processing time on the user device. Today, we spent most time on small mobile devices, compared to laptops they’re underpowered and web performance suffers. While handheld devices get more powerful, web pages get more and more complex. Especially the usage of javascript libraries and css framworks is very computational expensive. Based on data from real users, we quantify the relative importance of network and device for web performance. We also benchmark mobile devices and correlate their power to the web performance they achieve.
This talk will examine the tools, methods and data behind the DDoS attacks that are prevalent in the news headlines and the impacts they can have on companies. I will look at the motivations and rationale that they have and try to share some sort of understanding as to what patterns to be aware of for their own protection.
Images have a high correlation to page load time. Optimizing image delivery through compression alone is a daunting task. Using HTTP2's superpowers, we can optimize images to ship faster, increasing the perceived performance and initiating users' emotional responses to visuals earlier. HTTP2-powered image delivery leads to lower bounce rates and higher conversions.
HTTP/2 Push is a shiny new tool in the toolbox of web acceleration techniques. With any new tool, it's always a good idea to read the manual first to avoid losing a finger. This talk digs into how Akamai is automating the challenges of H2Push to do the job right.
Caching previously uncached content and increasing TTLs lowers your infrastructure expenses and greatly improves performance. In this session, you will learn how to leverage Fast Purge to cache often-changing content you avoided caching in the past, while always serving fresh content to your end users. With Fast Purge, you can now cache full product catalogs, news stories, and API feeds almost indefinitely. We will also unveil our soon-to-launch Content Tagging feature, which enables simple and powerful Fast-Purging of related content.
H2 is about a year old and in this talk we will share our experiences from the last 12 months, including: # Case studies to see how performance can be improved over h2 as a turnkey solution, while also addressing backward compatibility # Using RUM data to review performance-related observations of customers after switching to h2 # Hands-on demos of h2 with server push, and h2 + QUIC.

Atmosphere 2014: Helping the Internet to scale since 1998 - Paweł KuśmierskiPROIDEA
Akamai runs a network of 150.000 servers distributed among 2.000 locations in 92 countries. It’s constantly outputting Terabits per second, accounting for between 15 and 30% of the Internet’s WWW traffic. Talk will cover the principles of operation of Akamai’s Inteligent Platform, aspects of monitoring and managing consistent configuration on such scale. Speaker will share interesting technical details and general ideas behind the scalability and performance of the Akamai network.
Paweł Kuśmierski - Pawel Kusmierski is a Senior Engineer and Lead of Akamai’s System Operations in Krakow, Poland. He’s responsible for operational oversight of Internet Mapping and Distributed Storage systems. In the past he interned at Google’s Mountain View office as a Software Engineer. He lives with his wife and three year old son in Krakow. Occasionally he finds time to fly sailplanes and build electronic devices.
Akamai provides a global content delivery network (CDN) that serves over 2 trillion requests daily across 200,000 servers in over 130 countries. The presentation discusses peering with Akamai, traffic engineering techniques like route announcements and filtering, and issues to avoid like inconsistent or incomplete route announcements that could impact traffic delivery.
The Big Kahuna is a framework that performs massively distributed computation using a grid of stateless transient nodes made up of web browsers, handhelds, and thick clients, making it a truly ubiquitous distributed computing platform without installation or setup overheads. It processes large volumes of highly granular data (<100KB) by leveraging idle time on browsers and local networks. Some key advantages include being zero installation, built on open source technologies, scaling rapidly as more clients are added, and working across devices, browsers, and platforms.
Akamai built its own multi-service backbone network called ICN (Inter City Network) to connect its server clusters and optimize cache fill and internal traffic flows. ICN connects Akamai deployments across cities and countries on high-speed fiber, avoiding internet routing issues. In 2017 ICN launched in 15 cities and optimized 3Tbps of internal traffic. Akamai plans to expand ICN to more cities in 2018 and offer direct connection services to customers.
The document discusses Akamai's peering, security practices, and internet traffic trends. It provides an overview of Akamai's global intelligent platform and CDN technology, including how Akamai maps users to optimal edge servers. It explains why Akamai peers with ISPs to improve performance and reduce costs. It also covers the security issue of open resolvers enabling large DNS amplification attacks and ways to prevent these attacks. Finally, it reviews internet traffic trends, such as rising average connection speeds and the growth of mobile and IPv6 traffic.
EDNS0 Client-Subnet for DNS based CDNs by Matt JansenMyNOG
1) EDNS0 client-subnet is a proposed standard that allows recursive resolvers to include the end-user's IP prefix in DNS queries, allowing CDNs like Akamai to map users to optimal edge servers based on their location.
2) Currently, when users query CDNs through third-party DNS servers, the CDN only sees the DNS server's IP and cannot map accurately to the user's location. EDNS0 client-subnet addresses this issue.
3) Early testing shows EDNS0 client-subnet is improving Akamai's ability to map users to closer edge servers, especially for queries through services like Google DNS.
The document discusses Akamai's content delivery network and traffic engineering with Akamai. It provides an overview of Akamai's global intelligent platform and typical daily traffic volumes. It also covers how Akamai mapping works and why peering with Akamai benefits both Akamai and internet service providers.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
