On the receive side there is also broadcast traffic. This includes
both the usual 255.255.255.255 and subnet-broadcast traffic and the ARP
requests, DHCP requests, etc seen on the network.
On a larger network this can be considerably higher than what you see.
I think you were 100% right, Rob. Stopping NTP did reduce the outgoing
traffic a lot, but had very little effect on the incoming. Checking my
network has about 23 active devices, with about 8 hard-wired, so given
the same level of background traffic it would be about double on the
Wi-Fi side of the network compared to the LAN.
Thanks for making me think to check this more thoroughly!
