I found this out the hard way when I had the ports blocked for un-related reasons.
With the [[2.0.0-2]] update, SpotPass now regularly requests content over HTTPS from nppl.c.app.nintendowifi.net and sometimes nasc.nintendowifi.net. These are probably related to the SpotPass automatic software download functionality. Going by the domain names, nppl* might be for SpotPass software downloads?(Which domain is used for what exactly isn't confirmed yet)

In System Settings, you can disable SpotPass content downloading,(this is _only_ for free titles etc not auto system updates) but it states that important software will still downloaded. This is likely why SpotPass still connects to nppl* and nasc* even with that option disabled.

'nasc.nintendowifi.net' confirmed usages:
*Friends List application requires this server to be 'Online' (most likely the reason for regular requests to this server)
*Required for initialization of E-shop, (for first time e-shop users). Not required for using E-Shop after first use.
