What does Internet traffic actually look like? Is it possible to visualize web-based attacks as they’re happening? How does the world’s largest distributed computing platform deliver music, streaming video and other data?

Akamai Technologies puts the Internet in your hands with its Internet Visualization App. We offer a unique perspective on Internet traffic—because our global platform carries more of it than anyone else!

Our Internet Visualization App gives you a customizable view of Internet traffic carried by our more than 100,000 servers, located in countries all over the world*. You can search by zip code to find the data center closest to you, and zoom in to see local Internet traffic data in real time.

Akamai’s global platform also plays a critical role in defending against and mitigating Internet based attacks and security threats. The Internet Visualization app enables you to view threat traffic as it happens, on a global or local scale.

It’s also possible to see how Akamai’s network can leverage end users’ machines to help deliver content, applications and more thanks to our NetSession view.

This free app can give you a better understanding of the scale, complexity, and sheer traffic volume and trends happening right now on the Internet.

*In some cases (for example China), Akamai leverages partnerships for traffic distribution.
