We consider not having to deal with CALEA / DMCA on our guest network worth the
cost.
Note: we provide attwifi free-to-guest which means no one has to pay to use
it.

Interesting discussion and implementations! We are in the process of reviewing
our guest network access as well. These ideas are helpful and will give us
options to think about. In addition to the guest access, many of you mentioned
additional SSIDs and auth methods your institution offers.
We’ve add some additional bandwidth to the links between our wireless nets and
campus in anticipation of heavy traffic tomorrow.

We’re trying out the new application based bandwidth controls on our Aruba
controllers. They’ve worked so far in testing, so we’re hoping that’ll keep
the iOS devices from saturating everything tomorrow.

If you have access to OS X Yosemite Beta Server you can install an Apple
cacheing server on this OS. We are trying to set one up here in anticipation of
the downloads. Apple is shy on the documentation for this feature so if anyone
can share any success in this setup please pass it along to the
We've been trying the same on a Mavericks server. A huge limitation is for the
out-of-the-box magic to happen, all your clients need to live behind a single
NAT IP.

So I have this working right now but not real happy in how I got it to work.
Basically we are using policy NAT to give the server and the client the same
public IP address just when they go to Apple. Anything to 17.0.0.0/8 gets the
same public IP address. I'd like to refine that down but
I dream of a world with a mechanism to tell apple to send anything in our /16
to our caching server. Be it through an authenticated user portal, an apple rep
for our University, something. I'd even send a fax. One day...

For those of you impacted by such things, have you considered asking
Akamai to install a local caching appliance on your campus? We did a
number of years ago, it was free, and greatly reduces the impact on our
commodity internet while boosting update speeds significantly.
I know Apple is
We have one and it helped us tremendously for the Apple event last week, about
a gig worth of traffic. We are counting on it to help us tomorrow as well. It
is easy to apply, they just have to determine that they can offload enough
traffic to justify their expense of sending and supporting the
This is exactly what we've done, but we're not seeing it work as
advertized just yet...

Actually, (gasp!) that's how the beta version of the server works. You
add a TXT record to your dns server. In my case:
_aaplcache._tcp 10800 IN TXT prs=137.238.0.0-137.238.255.255
(You do this when you don't do any NAT. We don't do any NAT.)

Hector,
Any idea if it took time for the 5508s to learn the traffic before dropping
started? I did some testing from a single client and was able to pull down
half-dozen torrents on a WLAN configured to block it with AVC before I restored
our other defenses. AVC didn't touch simple BitTorrent
Double check you have BitTorrent, encrypted BitTorrent, and also BitTorrent
networking. I had to add the BitTorrent networking to mine in addition to the
others that are in Hector's list to stop it. Although as we all know this is
complete cat and mouse and they will always find a way. But I
