Akamai Technologies today released its Second Quarter, 2011 State of the Internet report. It shows that more than 604 million unique IP addresses from 238 countries and regions were connected to the Akamai Intelligent Platform. This represents 3.4 percent more IP addresses than connected in the first quarter of 2011, and an increase of 21 percent compared to the same quarter a year ago.

In the second quarter of 2011, the average measured connection speed for known mobile providers worldwide ranged from a high of slightly more than 5 Mbps to a low of 209 kbps. Approximately three-quarters of the surveyed providers had average connection speeds above 1 Mbps.

According to the report, this quarter Taiwan generated the most attack traffic observed by Akamai, bumping last quarter's newcomer to the list, Myanmar, to second place. Looking at total observed attack traffic aggregated by region, Asia Pacific/Oceania generated 47 percent of such attack traffic, Europe 30 percent, the Americas 20 percent, and Africa a mere 3 percent.
