Sutene, you seem to be creating a problem.

I have been away to ICANN66 hence my delayed response on this and apologies if I am a bit behind on the issue.

You cannot unilately change the IP address for the BGP peer for Akamai and you cannot do this for the GGC either because these are configured in these services and the subnets that we at MISPA issued to these CDN services.

For Akamai, the peer on the MIX side is on 196.223.27.65. So, the TNM router interface MUST be configured to this address 196.223.27.65.

Akamai has no access to your IP address 41.78.249.36 and this address is NOT on the MIX peering addresses, so, it is very much out of order for you to be asking Akamai to peer on this address just as it is to ask any MIX peer to do so.

So, please configure your TNM router to 196.223.27.65 for TNM to continue to use and access the Akamai service.

Your TNM transit MUST also be on 196.223.27.65 for the Akamai cache.

Here attached is the MIX logical diagram, please make sure that your IP address configs are in line with the agreements that we have at the MIX with all the other peers.

Paulos
