Look at the size of the ~hobbit/client/tmp/msg.HOSTNAME.txt file on a
client, this is the data that is sent from the client to the server.
There is a tiny amount of network overhead for the TCP/IP connection,
but I wouldn't worry about that.
The data is sent every 5 minutes, so a bandwidth estimate would be the
size of the file (in bytes) divided by 30 = bandwidth in bits/second.
