Everything went very smoothly, but you may notice that there is now an
<br>
additional level of redirection added to patch downloads.
<br>
Requests to getupdates.oracle.com now redirect to updates.oracle.com
via
<br>
login.oracle.com (for authentication).
<br>
<br>
There is a possibility that firewall rules may need to be updated in
<br>
certain circumstances to accommodate this change (hence the reason for

the heads-up).

Should that be the same for everybody?

Nope!<br>
<br>
There is load balancing performed on the backend to share the load
between limelight and Akamai.<br>
To cover all scenario's the following should be added to your firewall:<br>
<br>
<li>oracle.com</li>
<body>
<li>getupdates.oracle.com</li>
<li>updates.oracle.com</li>
<li>aru-llnw.oracle.com</li>
<li>aru-llnw-dl.oracle.com</li>
</body>
<li>edgesuite.net</li>
<li>akamai.net</li>

<li>a248.e.akamai.net.</li>

<li>llnwd.net</li>
