We are not installing cache server nodes within carrier facilities. Best bet is still direct interconnection at carrier neutral locations. We do have another option to consider - http://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#caching-server

https://www.apple.com/support/osxserver/cachingservice/ has been of use for some.

Please drop Peering@Group.Apple.com a note to add new locations. You must include your ASN.

You must have a peeringdb entry to be added in Apple systems as a peer.

Private peering in India is not quite ready. Please consider joining an IX and continue to work with our partners in India.

We are actively seeking enterprise and financial sector partners. https://support.apple.com/apple-pay

Please keep in mind there are many services in addition to updates - https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

Performance impacts can degrade the experience when average utilization exceeds 85% (10G) and 90% (100G). With that in mind we will work with your teams to maintain adequate capacity between our networks. Shifts to alternate POPS, links or providers may be encountered during periods of heavy load.

Apple is anycast so build all sessions please. Please configure to all possible addresses, not one or two at a site, to improve resiliency.

Please use our recommended max prefix setting of 10,000 for IPv4 and 1,000 for IPv6.

Apple does not peer with route servers.

MTU 1500 by default for PNI and public.
