Integrating with Akamai EdgeConnect
Customers who use Akamai to deliver content to end users can use the Akamai EdgeConnect service to enhance the system's visibility into the performance of accelerated content.
With the Akamai EdgeConnect service, Akamai transimits information in the form receipts to a Web server on your network using a POST request. The receipts contain informatin about the pages and objects Akamai delivered to your end users. Your varThisProd system detects the receipts and uses the information they contain to derive performance measurements for pages and objects served by Akamai.
For each page or object, Akamai sends the following information:
