Expedited repair of a primary link to prepare for the traffic. Not that it didn't have multiple backups. But one doesn't trifle with IOS8 release traffic.. If it's anything like IOS7 was..

I heard that Apple Caching servers won't work with this update, so I'm guessing it will be pushed through Akamai servers as is usually is.
