RT-AC1900P - Traffic Analyzer

Hello,

I'm seeing abut 73 gigabytes of downloaded traffic from AKAMAI.net in one month, about the same amount as when streaming from Netflix.
What is Akamai? Does Netflix use Akamai for content delivery?

Thanks,
Dieter

Akamai is used by many companies for content distribution. Microsoft is one of them.

No idea if Netflix uses them, but it's possible.

Judging by what my Blu-ray player does, Netflix streaming shows up as just Netflix on it. Blu-ray player doesn't touch Akamai. My PC has accessed Akamai but hard to say which sites it occurred as I don't pay that close attention.
