I think this was just the traffic to download iOS 7 to everyones' relevant 
Apple devices.  I don't know how large the update was (maybe a few hundred 
MB per device?), but I guess everyone got the notification or their 
devices started automatically downloading around the same time.  The vast 
majority of the traffic here (large .edu) happened between about 1 and 5 
PM yesterday.
