 Expedited repair of a primary link to prepare for the traffic. Not 
that it didn't have multiple backups. But one doesn't trifle with IOS8 
release traffic.. If it's anything like IOS7 was..

So Apple is about to release iOS 8... Have you done anything special 
to your network setup to accommodate the traffic flood ie traffic 
shaping rules, cache servers, etc?

I heard that Apple Caching servers won't work with this update, so I'm 
guessing it will be pushed through Akamai servers as is usually is.
