I am a bit surprised by the network use as well, some extracts from my
stats.

p2p queries/Uptime = 1.48 Queries per second.

I have 26 hosts in data/hosts, which means each host on avarage is
hosts is making a query every 17.6 seconds.

There were 530MB trasfered which is 2.3kB/s, of this only 60MB is p2p
CHK
content, 48MB is noise

I only did a couple of searches (although client queries says 35), and i
have content migration tuned on.

Seems like there is lots of none-node talk.
