Question : deploy.akamaitechnologies.<wbr />com

hello

we are having network performance problems and when i look at my logs it seems that deploy.akamaitechnologies.com is always using alot of http traffic on our computers

from what i have read about it, alot of companies outsource to them to globally provide web services like streaming, downloads etc.

i would like to block it but hesitant.

also can some advise of a good way of monitoring what traffic each pc on the network is generating?
advise would be great please

thanks

If you are using the HTTP-Proxy filter for outbound traffic on your firewall you can turn on logging and check the "Send to Reports" box. Then you can use Watchguard's Report server to tell you exactly which hosts are generating what traffic and the volume. The Report Server software comes with the Watchguard Firebox.

Just realized that I am assuming you have a firebox since you posted in the Watchguard category...
