[AG-TECH] Ports used in AG - part 2

[Michael Daw]

As to the question about the bridges. Unicast clients to either bridge
(Argonne or QuickBridge) see just the same as multicast clients. The only
difference is the potential for lag as incoming traffic goes to the bridge
server and then to the client (and outgoing goes to the bridge server before
being propogated among everyone else).
