"Idle" node traffic

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

In a cluster where there is no client activity happening (no index or
search requests), how much data, roughly, is being sent between the nodes?
I was able to find a nice blog post from Njal Karevoll at found.no that
explained all the transport channels per node, but nothing about the
steady-state volume of data.

This node is empty but running in a cluster serving traffic:
http://ganglia.wikimedia.org/latest/?c=Elasticsearch%20cluster%20eqiad&h=elastic1017.eqiad.wmnet&m=cpu_report&r=hour&s=by%20name&hc=4&mc=2
Here is the rest of the cluster:
http://ganglia.wikimedia.org/latest/?c=Elasticsearch%20cluster%20eqiad&m=cpu_report&r=hour&s=by%20name&hc=4&mc=2

Its not exactly what you asked for, but its something. I imagine the
activity on empty nodes when there is no traffic would be lower but I'm not
sure by how much.

Thank you very much for the links!

I'm trying to infer what I can from them (looks like there are 19 nodes in
the cluster, and this single cluster is averaging about 165kBytes/sec sent
over the last hour.

I'm still hoping there will be a more formal answer detailing the
node-to-node communications, how it might geometrically increase with the
number of nodes (since, AFAICT, each node pair is directly connected),
whether it changes based on the number of indices or shards, etc.
