      Hi, I'm seeing a ton of LAN broadcast (x.x.x.255) traffic from my 2 BDS servers, and it appears to be encrypted. Traffic is seen on the port configured for the server to use to host incoming client connections (in my case, the default port 19132), as well as 19133 and a few other seemingly random high ports: 38302, 41786, and 58435.

      Any idea why? Some sort of discovery protocol for other servers on the local net? What would one server be able to do with another server on the same net- I thought only clients ever had a reason to connect to servers?

      More importantly- any way to disable this? I'd like to stop the spam in my firewall log, but I don't want to ignore it as it's actually unwanted behavior.
