Authorize.net is starting to rout all Internet traffic through Akamai, a third-party cloud network service that routes and delivers Internet traffic. Akamai network technology will help decrease latency and improve the reliability of the payment gateway. It will also help safeguard against interruptions caused by issues beyond Authorize.Net's direct control, such as Internet congestion, fiber cable cuts and other similar issues.
In June 2016, Authorize will automatically direct all existing transaction processing URLs to connect through Akamai. To take advantage of the uptime benefits Akamai offers, we recommend you proactively update your website.
