Apple does use CDN=E2=80=99s and does peer quite a bit as well.. What I =
have seen is our peering with Apple goes to a certain level of bandwidth =
and then spills over to CDN=E2=80=99s that we are either peered with or =
have on-net caches. =46rom our network perspective it=E2=80=99s simply =
a matter of ensuring there is enough capacit on the peering links and/or =
cache capacity. If both of those options are exceeded then upstream =
transit starts to fill in the gap (only seen that happen once).
