[arm-allstar] Fwd: Data Usage

[David McGough]

That's a good question? ...If the node isn't registered, and sitting
completely idle, probably not. Even if registered, maybe not.  I've always
run across VPNs (OpenVPN) when using 4G and specifically generate
keep-alive traffic.

Anyone got a definitive answer?
