I would assume that Akamai will not be helpful and that you should continue to 
investigate on the customer side. 

What do the connection tracking tables in their router say?

Re: [AFMUG] akamai contact Joe, 

Most of the time that is the route I would go, but this is a special case.

        So something on the customer's network is requesting that data stream. 
I mean, personally, the process of elimination with the customer seems a whole 
lot easier then getting in contact with Akamai, but that is just me. 

I would go as far as changing the wireless credentials on the router, unplug 
everything, and then plug everything back in one at a time/connect everything 
one at a time until the stream resumes.

        Joe, 

We still track usage per customer. We no longer have hard limits, but we still 
have soft limits on our system. Customers will get e-mails as they approach 
these limits. This one customer called because he got an email. After looking 
at his data we determined that he was downloading almost 1GB/hour of traffic 
24/7. Basically a leaky faucet. I tracked it down to one IP address. Had him 
check the usual stuff like streaming devices left on, no luck. Gave him a new 
IP address, kept going. Now I'm blocking it in my firewall, but it is still 
trying to send him stuff. I have no idea. I know something on his system must 
be requesting it, but he has no clue. 

Just sent akamai an email with sample log entries, we'll see what comes back.

        Do you think this customer is getting a stream of data they did not 
request?

        Mike, 

Thanks, I'll give this a shot and see what I can get. Probably going to regret 
going down this rabbit hole.

        You're not going to find one entity using any of their IPs. 

Calling will almost never get you anywhere with a tech company. 

https://www.akamai.com/us/en/support/end-user-faq.jsp Look at the bottom for 
abuse contact information.

Subject: [AFMUG] akamai contact 

Anyone have a akamai contact. I have a customer getting a steady 
stream of data from an IP address that resolves back to them. 
Currently blocking the address for the customer, but that is not a 
long term solution. Would like to figure out who or what at akamai is 
using that address. 

Tried calling them, but got nowhere fast.
