Why should Apple care if providers have oversubscribed lines or not? As far as I know, Akamai delivers most of the data anyway, so it is not coming all from Apple. I don't know for sure, but I doubt they have enough bandwidth themselves to saturate so many links concurrently. Apple also does not push the updates, it is pulled to the device when the users tell the device to retrieve it. So blame your users, not Apple. It is also my understanding that any updates they do push are staged so they all don't go out the same time. On 9/19/13 2:11 PM, "Warren Bailey" <wbailey () satelliteintelligencegroup com> wrote:
I don't see how operators could tolerate this, honestly. I can't think of a single provider who does not oversubscribe their access platform... Which leads me to this question : Why does apple feel it is okay to send every mobile device an update on a single day? Never mind the fact that we are we ones on the last mile responsible for getting it to their customers, 1gb per sub is pretty serious.. Why are they not caching at their head ends, dslams, etc?

Perhaps I missed it in this thread, but I would be curious to know what iOS 7 implemented that caused this...The IOS7 upgrade is ~750 megabyte download for the phones/pods, and ~950 megabytes for ipad. There are quite a few devices out there times these amounts to download... -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike () swm pp se
