Hi Steve
Akamai says they have a solution to protect the origin IP and configure some rules on your firewalls/routers to route back/deny direct access from the internet to the origin IPs
Costs could be also fix as they have a model where they just charge for one DDoS apparently on a monthly basis and everything in addition is covered in the monthly fee
Akamai promises a 100 % availability of their environment with 130000 servers around the globe.
But all those things rather relate to the DDoS feature than to the WAF features I'm looking for. I would seek some good comparison of technical features between Akamai and F5 WAF. There is a comparison model WAFEC that could provide a basis for comparion but the latest version is from 2006 and there is no actual information in the model, just the framework.
Regards
André
