Frequently asked questions

What IP ranges does Akamai use?

Akamai operates tens of thousands of edge servers globally. Key ranges include 23.32.0.0/11, 96.16.0.0/15, and 104.64.0.0/10. Akamai does not publish a single IP list; ranges must be queried via BGP data or ARIN/RIPE WHOIS under AS20940.

Why does an Akamai IP appear in my test?

Akamai IPs appear when your test request reaches an Akamai-served property. Akamai serves many major websites so their IPs can appear in traceroutes and timing tests. This is expected behavior.

Does Akamai also provide DNS services?

Yes. Akamai operates its own authoritative DNS network and the Akamai Secure DNS resolver. Akamai acquired Linode (now Akamai Cloud) in 2022, so some Linode IPs are now under the Akamai umbrella.

How do I look up an Akamai IP?

Use MyIPScan IP Geolocation Lookup. Akamai IPs return AS20940 with the PoP location. Because Akamai has PoPs in thousands of cities, city-level geolocation is usually accurate.

What ASN does Akamai use?

Akamai primarily uses AS20940 for its CDN network. The AS20940 page on MyIPScan covers this. Akamai Cloud (formerly Linode) uses AS63949.
