iCloud backups - *RAGE*
They saturate 100% of my Upload Bandwidth for an extended period of time. Backup on devices connected to the network can be huge and operate almost daily when a user charges their device.
I would ordinarily throttle the upload with a limiter on a port match scheme but iCloud operates on 80 and 443.
The only option I can think of so far is by assigning DHCP reservations to Apple devices and then limiting the entire source IP. That or trying to limit all traffic destined for iCloud addresses.
Any ideas to solve this? The entire internet becomes un-usable while Apple does it's dross iCloud backups with absolutely no regard to network capacity.
I am using a Vyatta forked device (Ubiquiti) which, as far as I am aware, does not support Layer 7 filtering.
Any creative solutions?
