We didn't see as sharp of an increase for this, but overall traffic reached about the same level for us on iOS 8 as it did last year for iOS 7.

This is what we saw for iOS 8:
ios8_20140917


And this is what we saw for iOS 7 last year:
ios7_20130918

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.

Hi Pete,

Do you have a link for Akamai? After reading this, I tried to find out where to apply, but I couldn't find it.

Thanks.
