Overview
Akamai Technologies operates a CDN or reverse-proxy network associated with AS16625.
This record includes the representative IPv4 CIDR 23.7.96.0/19. It is not an exhaustive list of the network’s address space or current routing announcements.
This is a network-origin record, not an exact physical-facility location or proof that a request is automated. Evaluate the ASN and CIDR together with the User-Agent, request path, request rate, session behavior, and application context before enforcement.

Traffic and handling

- Risk Level
- Low
- Recommended Action
- Log by default. Do not block the provider range wholesale. Restore and validate the trusted client IP before applying visitor-level rules.
- Default Rule Action
- Log
- Common Pattern
- Shared edge addresses can represent many unrelated visitors, proxied applications, cached requests, and security-filtered traffic.
- Detection Notes
- Match AS16625 and representative CIDR 23.7.96.0/19. Validate the proxy configuration and apply visitor-level rules to the restored client IP rather than the shared edge address.
