Akamaiâs Network Now Pushes Terabits of Data Every Second

,----[ Quote ]
| At peak, Akamai supported more than 12 million 
| requests per second â- a rate roughly 
| equivalent to serving content to the entire 
| population of the U.S. every 30 seconds, the 
| company said.

Akamai Set for A Breakout

,----[ Quote ]
| To recap, on Friday afternoon a jury in the U.S. District Court of
| Massachusetts ruled that Limelight infringed on an Akamai patent that covers
| certain technologies related to content delivery via the Internet. The jury
| awarded Akamai $45.5 million in damages, and we fully expect Limelight to
| appeal the verdict as it believes it did not infringe on Akamai's patent.

Microsoft Should Be Clear of Infringing Akamai's 703 Patent

,----[ Quote ]
| Live streaming, software downloads, application acceleration, delivery to a
| device etc... are not infringing as they are either not cached or not
| delivered to a browser. So not everything on Limelight's network is in
| violation of the 703 patent. I don't know what percentage of Limelight's
| traffic or revenue is outside of the 703 patent but that would be interesting
| to know.
