Re: IOS new versions and network load

[Mike Hammett <nanog () ics-il net>]

I've never quite understood CDNs and why more of them aren't more nimble. For most of them when we talk to them they're 
talking a full rack or more of deployment. Why haven't they all figured out how to do a single box or even a handful of 
boxes?

Apple seems to be quite behind on their node roll out. They were talking about our Indianapolis IX getting one this 
year, but now we're at least another year away from one.

I remember seeing this years ago. What I saw yesterday from my own home was IPv6 traffic to the Apple CDN nodes in 
Chicago.

If you are at an IX or have traffic volumes, I would check this:
