I can confirm this works well.  It’s a bit tricker w/ IPv6 but with IPv4 it works and you can serve a lot of software 
updates out of the cache.

Mac mini w/ large SSD is a common application that people do 

# AssetCacheManagerUtil  status
..
    CacheDetails =     {
        "Apple TV Software" = 732593844;
        "Mac Software" = 28762157836;
        Other = 5047787109;
        iCloud = 25227716657;
        "iOS Software" = 15765184801;
    };
    TotalBytesAreSince = "2019-11-04 16:44:33 +0000";
    TotalBytesImported = 2198032684;
    TotalBytesReturnedToClients = 22369111463;
    TotalBytesStoredFromOrigin = 9485169600;
    TotalBytesStoredFromPeers = 4171229773;

Hi Ahmed,

We have been using the Apple specific content caching feature for a while now.

It's something you enable on a mac (we use a mac mini) which then get discovered on your local network via a DNS TXT 
record or bonjour.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know if there is an apple cache? 
Today we noticed that apple store applications and updates are not caching anymore by HTTPs cache servers, and when 
we checked through DPI, we found that it's been changed into HTTPS! Does anyone know what is going on?
