Discussions I've seen from operators on Facebook shows some that had PNIs that worked just fine, while others with PNIs and cache boxes didn't fare so well. Some with just cache boxes were fine, while others were not.

What were your educated observations, preferably with supporting data?

Did we have a problem with congestion where the cache boxes phones home to, and this they just fell over?

AWS used to be the data source of last resort. Did anyone notice congestion going from AWS to cache boxes?
