I don't think the MICE Akamai is ready to go yet.

Seems pretty lonely there at 10kbps. (I confirmed that this port is
the MAC that we're feeding the Akamai BGP session down to, so I'm pretty
sure the documentation is correct), and a port monitor shows traffic
at the same levels the graph is doing.

FWIW: Our own (ipHouse) Akamai cluster saw about a five-fold increase
in traffic over normal peak levels starting just before 13:00 CDT
(when Apple let loose the gates). Not quite the same levels as the
poster in NANOG.

You could also look at the GigaPop 10G feed and see increased traffic tonight..

That traffic is mostly the U of MN's Akamai cluster IIRC. Looks like
some peak usage tonight, although not so much of a blip during the
daytime.
