If I am looking at traffic from my network and I see (e.g., using SmartWhois) that a lot of user traffic is going to certain CDNs. e.g., in one network 87% of my traffic goes to Amazon. Is there a way to disaggregatedis-aggregate this, even a little, to get a sense of what all of this traffic means?

I see that certain popular Web sites are located on certain CDNs (e.g., click the CDN names on the legend of this chart: CDN Market Share) but matching things up this way feels like I am simply guessing, particularly with Amazon -- the CDN market leader.

I was wondering if certain CDN clients might be assigned certain IP addresses within the CDN block -- I thought that someone else might have come up with a lookup table or a database for sale, but I can't find anything like that by googling, so maybe that is not a viable approach.

I currently only have easy access to the IP address that flows are going to. With that data, is disaggregatingdis-aggregating this CDN traffic further impossible? If I know it is not possible I will stop looking.

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Is it possible to disaggregate traffic to CDNs to find out what users are doing?
