Re: iOS 7 update traffic

[Warren Bailey <wbailey () satelliteintelligencegroup com>]

I own a galaxy note 2..tmo ran an update that pushed to unique IMEI's sequentially. That way, you do not..

1. Murder your last mike packet network, which is your bandwidth bottleneck.

2. Murder your ggsn/whateverpacketnodeyouwant closer to the core.

3. Anger your paying customers who would like to use packet data successfully on an ios download day.

These people (Apple) represent themselves as smart guys, but their actions reflect otherwise. I bet this would be a 
larger deal to Nanog people if your Internet stopped working as the result of 100% Linux adoption. That is very close 
to what this is.. Tens of millions of people trying to update their 13 ios devices at the same time. Who owns a single 
ios device? A household could do 5-10gb worth of updates in a single day..

I personally do not own an ios device, and I see close to 3 gigs worth of update traffic at my house. These things are 
everywhere, and this problem will not stop.

They don't, these are users who actively goes into the software upgrade
menu and pressing "upgrade".

I believe the nagging won't start for quite some time.
