Apple Inc. (AS714)

Apple (AS714) carries Apple's first-party services — App Store and software downloads, iCloud sync and backup, push notifications, Siri, Maps and Apple TV+ — and is the system a network actually establishes sessions with. Apple's separate delivery autonomous system sits behind it and is reached through it rather than peered with directly.

Apple traffic is unusually spiky. Measurements taken across an iOS release day recorded Apple's own network peaking at more than three times its baseline, with the overflow saturating transit links that had nothing to do with the release — which is the argument for a direct session rather than for buying transit headroom. One requirement shapes the decision more than any other: Apple will not take routes through an exchange's shared routing service, so a fabric port alone will not reach it and a direct session has to be arranged by mail. Access networks carrying more than 25 Gbps of Apple traffic at peak can also apply to host Apple-supplied cache hardware inside their own network.
