Peer-to-Peer Detection with DPI

Applications such as Apple Push use peer-to-peer signaling protocols to establish direct connections between devices, often leveraging dynamic IP changes. Netify protocol detection is the best way to properly track this type of network session.

Core Networks

Applications are sometimes deployed on partner networks, parent company networks, or regional hosting providers. The following is a sample of Apple Push IP addresses deployed on this type of network.

Network	IP	PoP	Category	Location
Apple	17.57.144.10	Core Network	Business	United States
Apple	17.57.144.11	Core Network	Business	United States
Apple	17.57.144.12	Core Network	Business	United States
Apple	17.57.144.23	Core Network	Business	United States
Apple	17.57.144.24	Core Network	Business	United States
... and 1549 more

Hosting

SaaS	Sample IP	# of IPs
China Unicom	121.17.252.10	3
China Mobile	120.217.233.136	1
Oracle Cloud	143.47.177.160	1

To scale its compute capacity and optimize resources, Apple Push leverages a multi-cloud architecture.

Content Delivery Network - Company CDN

Apple Push uses an in-house company content delivery network (CDN). The CDN delivers content to very edge of the network and is often hosted inside Internet Service Provider (ISP) networks.
