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.
