Where are the Apple Contents hosted ?
Like the app downloads, app updates, iOS and OSX Big packages, etc etc.

IS it hosted in Akamai servers or Limelight or Apple has its own data center ?

I was monitoring my traffic and I see 3 IP, one is Akamai 23.xx, 1 is LimeLight 208.xx and one 1 is Apple USA IP 17.xx IP.

So, where is Apple hosting its content in the cloud ?

IM asking this, because we are a ISP in India, and I need to find a peering point, since in our network, 30% of traffic is Apple content only.

Thanks.
 
Apple started off with Akamai and had most of its content and websites there. I think the current list is Akamai, LimeLite, Level 3, & their own datacenters. Apples CDN strategy is to have it spread out and in several places. Sometimes they have regional CDNs for specific markets. In the US they have a few large datacenters. Here is an article about it.
