So, maybe an operational question.

What are people seeing as far as network traffic loads due to WMF patching activity, e.g. auto-update and manual downloads? Microsoft has used several CDNs in addition to its own servers to distribute the load in the past.

Most organizations use from one to quite a few of their own distribution points. It would be interesting to know what the stats are at broadband providers... Although proxying may make the results a bit "nicer" in some places. Gadi.
