Can someone please explain to a non-Apple person what the hell happened that started generating so much traffic? Perhaps I missed it in this thread, but I would be curious to know what iOS 7 implemented that caused this...

I think this was just the traffic to download iOS 7 to everyones' relevant Apple devices. I don't know how large the update was (maybe a few hundred MB per device?), but I guess everyone got the notification or their devices started automatically downloading around the same time. The vast majority of the traffic here (large .edu) happened between about 1 and 5 PM yesterday. jms
