Akamai didn’t run a backbone. I’d argue that they did run many rather sizable networks.

Oh, I’m very familiar with that particular project… It was in it’s startup hey day during my tenure in Mr. Kaufmann’s group. That was Akamai building a backbone to connect many (not nearly all) of their networks together.

I stand by my original statement. One cannot (usefully) run a server farm without a network. Network != backbone.
