remarks: ***************************************************************
remarks: Akamai serves the images and streaming content for many of the
remarks: most popular Internet web-sites. When you connect to a web-site
remarks: your browser first contacts the content provider and downloads
remarks: an html file. This file contains embedded URLs that tell your
remarks: browser where to find all the objects necessary to finish
remarks: displaying the page. In the case of an "Akamaized" site, these
remarks: URLs point to the Akamai Network. Next, your browser makes
remarks: connections to the URLs to obtain the images or streaming
remarks: content. Again, for an "Akamaized" site, your browser will
remarks: contact an Akamai server to obtain the requested items.
remarks: Generally a TCP server listens on a well-known port < 1023 (for
remarks: example port 80 for HTTP), and a TCP client connects from a
remarks: port > 1023 assigned by the operating system. So a connection
remarks: from port 80 of the Akamai server to a high numbered port on
remarks: your machine, is a normal HTTP transaction.
