Well, this certainly explains why my wifi has been feeling pretty iffy for the last couple of weeks.

There was an awful lot of mDNS traffic coming from the (new to me) Google Home, and the two android phones, and mythtv (0.27) was sending every couple of seconds too. Running this tcpdump helped me track it down.

    tcpdump -n host 224.0.0.251 and port 5353
For the google home, I just turned it off; does anybody know of an offline voice activated clock/timer? That's the most compelling use for me. (yo clock, what time is it and/or you clock set a timer for 3 minutes / set an alarm for 5:30)

For the phones, in settings / google / cast media controls, you can turn that off, I also turned off 'nearby links' in the google menu, in case that was related.
