The past few weeks, my internet response has been running quite slow. I'm sorta used to this, since in my area the only service available (other than dial-up) is satellite. And as you would probably know, with satellite service, the average ping is 650-750 ms.

So I do not like extraneous crap going to the internet. I decided to run an internet meter and found all sorts of I/O. Remember- Windows was just booted,and ' update from more than one place' is turned OFF. No 3rd party apps. Actually NOTHING is running, except Win-Defender. And 'Update Status' is up to date.
Basically the system should be quiesced. So what is the following Netstat nonsense? I ran a malwarebytes scan, and it turned up nothing. Just PART of the Akamai netstat output. Since I don't see all this port access on windows xp, vista and 7 nor on my linux boxes and they work a lot better than Windows 10 on laptops older than 15yrs, then I don't buy Akamai is improving things. Everytime Microsoft release a new OS it take about 2 service packs to fix what engineers and managers should have caught before the release.
I have moved to Mac at work and I am gradually moving to Linux at home. If I could move back my current laptop to windows 7 I would.

But it came with windows 8. My DSL max speed is 1megabit and now 70% is used for something.
My browsers is not faster and downloading a 30Mg file now takes 10min. I personally don't like when I don't have option to disable things. I put some of the ip addresses in my firewall and windows stopped working. Try it for yourself. Thanks, Steve.
It's not a matter of 'improving things': without the Akamai network in place, 400,000,000 Win10 installations yammering away would have squashed Microsoft's servers, flat. But it isn't your system's OS deciding to connect through Akamai. If you connected to those Microsoft IP's through a Linux distro or a Mac, they'd still go through the cacheing service, and if you go looking for cat videos, you probably won't be, on any system. I'd take a look at the 70% usage, if constant, though: apart from updates, telemetry doesn't take up that much bandwidth. There are third-party programs that will shut Win10 telemetry down solid, however poking around for more Settings to unset, and checking your Startups for third-party updaters would also be prudent.
Cisco and Akamai customers increasingly use the Internet to run business-critical applications. In addition, the dramatic increase in business-critical HTTP traffic on networks is forcing customers to make difficult decisions between their WAN budgets and application priorities. Akamai and Cisco share many of the same customers and can address the traffic increase together to enable new applications without increasing the WAN budget. The companies intend to integrate leading routing, WAN optimization, and Akamai caching and acceleration into the leading application delivery platform, the Cisco ® Integrated Services Routers (ISR) with Cisco Application Experience (AX), referred to as the Cisco ISR-AX platform. Both companies see the potential performance and cost benefits of an optimized hybrid WAN for enterprises and their branch offices. Akamai and Cisco share a common vision of how to improve the speed and reliability of the Internet to help provide enterprises with a cost-effective way to meet the growing bandwidth and performance needs of branch offices. Retail, financial, education, and hospitality customers; managed service providers; and traditional enterprises all share certain needs: scalable, faster performance with a positive return on investment (ROI).
These needs also include the capability to enable new digital experiences and meet the requirements of critical business applications. To support our joint customers’ needs, Cisco and Akamai are integrating Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) and Akamai caching and Internet acceleration technologies into the Cisco ISR-AX platform to deliver branch-office and WAN architectures with advanced hybrid cloud network solutions. This initiative integrates the best-in-class technologies from the two industry leaders in networking and cloud services. Customers will be able to use their Cisco ISR-AX router to support full-service branch-office operations. The solution will provide an application-aware router, combining Akamai Connect technology with WAN optimization, application visibility and control, path selection, and branch-office security.
The solution is designed to be able to provide end-to-end optimization from the branch office to the data center or the private cloud and also a single-sided optimization for any traffic going out to the Internet. Cisco IWAN is an existing Cisco solution that enables businesses to deliver an uncompromised experience over any connection. Now IT departments can right-size their branch-office connections using competitively priced WAN transport options without affecting performance, security, or reliability. Using the Cisco ISR-AX platform and the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers with Cisco Application Experience, referred to as the Cisco ASR 1000-AX platform, IT has an operationally scalable solution at an attractive price that includes the networking and application services necessary to make the most of your WAN investment, roll out services more quickly, and reduce costs. With Cisco IWAN, traffic is dynamically routed based on application, endpoint, and network conditions to deliver the best-quality experience.
The vision of this integrated solution is to combine the power of Cisco WAAS and Akamai caching and Internet optimization technology, enabling branch offices to offload existing network links and improve in-branch web and application experiences. By caching and delivering most rich media traffic from inside the branch office, customers can dramatically improve performance, while offloading traffic from the WAN and last mile access network. The solution integrates sophisticated caching and optimization within the private WAN to cache, optimize, and accelerate the Internet. Designed to be simple to deploy and cost effective, the solution uses the industry’s leading application delivery platform, the Cisco ISR-AX platform, and is managed through a single pane. The solution is also designed to link to the Akamai Intelligent Platform ™, enabling enterprises that invest in their digital web experiences to extend those experiences to the branch office in a fast, cost-efficient manner. The solution is designed to accelerate performance and reduce network costs to enable new digital experiences to engage customers and improve employee productivity. Akamai Connect brings Akamai’s world-class caching and acceleration technology behind the firewall into the branch office.
It includes: ● Transparent cache: Transparently cache web content from the corporate intranet or popular Internet sites, such as video-sharing sites, or other third-party domains not delivered from the Akamai Intelligent Platform. ● Connected cache: Cache and deliver content within the branch office from the company’s web and mobile properties on the Akamai Intelligent Platform ™. The solution can also cache third-party content delivered by the Akamai, which typically represents between 15 and 30 percent of all web traffic. ● Content prepositioning: Define policies to proactively prewarm content in the HTTP cache during non-peak hours to save on the network when it is needed most. ● Over-the-top (OTT) Caching: Cache large Internet domains with dynamic URLs, such as YouTube. The existing partnership that Akamai has with Riverbed targets different use cases than the strategic Akamai and Cisco partnership.

Riverbed SCA is specifically designed to support acceleration of two software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications - Microsoft Office 365 and Salesforce.com - by using the Akamai Intelligent Platform to optimize the Internet segment when transporting the SaaS application traffic between the SaaS data center and in-branch end users. The new product initiative announced by Akamai and Cisco, which integrates Akamai performance and acceleration technologies into Cisco ISR-AX routers, is designed to optimize the delivery of web applications and content to the branch office, whether delivery is over the private WAN, the Akamai Intelligent Platform, or the open Internet.
The content may include product catalogs, the corporate website, SaaS and mobile applications, training videos, interactive kiosks, and third-party Internet content accessed through guest Wi-Fi. The solution helps enable enterprises to overcome the myriad application performance challenges associated with the convergence of the Internet, cloud, and private WAN in the branch office, while cost-effectively addressing the ever-increasing bandwidth demands created by the business need for multimedia and interactive user experiences in digitally enhanced branch offices.
