They seem to have stopped now, but for the last couple weeks my home PC has been getting ICMP requests from 213.56.194.53 (a213-56-194-53.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com) . They always seem to come in blocks of 12 in a row with 20 seconds between each request. Also, they seem to be preceeded or followed by the same pattern from various other hosts. For example, 24.94.162.92 (mkc-162-092.kc.rr.com) or 24.130.30.75 (ak-24-130-30-75.we.ipsvc.net). Any info would be good - I was wondering about this myself.

Out of the wild blue, I logged some unexpected pings: 209.92.223.82:0(209-92-223-82.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com) ICMP Ping Now I know they do lots of click-thru and banner ads, but is Akamai now starting to keep tabs on our online time? or something more sinister? This was logged on my home computer firewall, I wasn't even here. I don't bother with logging pings at the office so I don't know if this is widespread or I just happened to be singled out for some reason. Anyone else seen this?
