We had to RFP each link, meaning we reached out to every fiber/wave vendor that was present in the data centers we wanted to be in that we could find, and had them submit routes with latency data. Then we tested to verify their data. It is really manual unfortunately.

Hey,
I am the author. We are building it out world wide, but you are correct, this is for one application. The same blueprint could be used for any other application though.

Hello,
I am the author. The difference is that Akamai is working on optimizing bandwidth to their customer from a pipes size perspective, not a latency perspective. In other words, they want the widest highway possible, maybe not the fastest.
