Thanks Lee for digging up the link for Akamai signup.
The Akamai caching definitely kicked in for us, offloading up to over a Gig's worth. If you look at a graph of our Internet traffic versus Akamai server traffic (don't know if they'll come through the listserv) you can see that our Internet traffic took a little jump right at 1:00 PM, but then settled down to normal levels when the Akamai server traffic spiked up, taking over the load. Overall though, so far today, the traffic levels from IOS8 haven't been too bad. Maybe we'll see more when the kiddies get out of class.

After reading this, I tried to find out where to apply, but I couldn't find it.
