Apple updates - Affect on network
With all of Apple's updates today (MacOS, iOS, Apps, etc) we saw a big increase on one of our links to our ISP at 1pm Eastern. Did anyone else notice significant traffic jumps on their networks? [image: image.png]

That's an impressive jump. Do you have some netflow data showing the target subnets that were being hit? Ray
Has anyone else bricked there phone doing the iOS 5 update. I just ran mine in the middle of the update I got a 3004 error doing some research that error means can't connect to gs.apple.com I'm guessing that¹s there upgrade server. So right now I'm SOL till I can connect to the update server. Looking on twitter it looks like I'm not the only person that has gotten this.

There are a fair number of reports of Apple's update servers being down/intermittent. I imagine that's probably fairly inevitable on launch day. If people haven't already updated and are thinking about doing it, it's probably worth holding off a day or two just in case. Paul On 10/12/2011 10:56 AM, Carlos Alcantar wrote:

That's always worth doing anyway. Let the early adopters test it first for you! -- David Cantrell | Cake Smuggler Extraordinaire You can't spell AWESOME without ME!
I didn't have issues downloading the update, it took less than 10min, but I've so many apps and stuff on a 32GB iPod that the process of backing up, upgrade, restore, somewhere in the middle you have to confirm some settings and backing up the apps for which I still I see 23 pending updates I guess due the new version of iOS is kind of tedious, iTunes does not provide much information besides a dialog box saying "Restoring iPod apps", but the iPod is not with the classic "syncing" message, on the iPod I can see the icons for the apps being restored showing up one by one. Besides connectivity problems and latency, the whole process seems to take a lot of time, so be patient and plan to see your iGadget coming back to live slowly. -J On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 3:56 PM, Carlos Alcantar <carlos@race.com> wrote:

Have you previously run TinyUmbrella? It has been known to set gs.apple.com to a cydia server in the local hosts file which would return an error. Or it could be gs is overloaded or down. Regards, Ryan Wilkins On Oct 12, 2011, at 3:56 PM, Carlos Alcantar <carlos@race.com> wrote:

Ryan, Looks to have been the gs.apple.com was over loaded after about 30 attempts and 3 hrs it finally went through. Carlos Alcantar Race Communications / Race Team Member 101 Haskins Way, So.

On our side, Akamai is sending us 40% more traffic than yesterday at the same time. A traffic increase can be seen on Lonap exchange point ( http://www.lonap.net/bandwidth.shtml) -- Pierre-Yves Maunier

Saw a +300mbps (+150%) increase on my Akamai cluster ~1315 EDT. No appreciable increase on transit or peering. ~Matt

Same. 165% increase to Akamai. Had a large spike 10/11, though not as much as 10/12. Jack
