[AG-TECH] Multicast beacon questions

[David E. Bernholdt]

I think the first concern was security -- were we under some kind of
attack.  After that, I think the question is whether that level of
traffic is really necessary, since this is baseline (our AG node is
not here yet) -- the beacon stuff is not a huge volume of data, but
there are many packets, and that's taxing in its own way.

And if the answer is simply "yes, it _is_ necessary", then I think its
okay. But it would be nice to be able to tell them that as the number
of AGs builds, someone's working on a better way of monitoring things.
