BBC websites still suffering after DDoS attack, Akamai steps in

The main BBC website at www.bbc.co.uk was knocked offline after being subjected to a distributed denial of service attack. For the following few hours, requests to the BBC website either eventually timed out, or were responded to with its 500 Internal Error test card page. The outage had a significant impact on its user base: The BBC’s news, sport, weather and iPlayer TV and radio catchup services are all delivered via www.bbc.co.uk. The website was served from a netblock owned by the BBC; service was restored by migrating the site onto the Akamai content delivery network, after which there were no apparent outages. Moving www.bbc.co.uk onto the Akamai CDN also resulted in some significant performance benefits, particularly from locations outside of the UK. These performance benefits are typical when using a globally distributed CDN, as cached content can be delivered from an edge server within the client’s own country, rather than from a remote server that can only be reached via transatlantic cables.
