Being a "slim" (i.e. thin) client, the Squeezebox has only the minimum
hardware necessary to get itself started, to stream music, to accept
commands to show things on the display, to receive IR remote button
presses and relay them to the slimserver.

Everything else, including updating the display on a regular basis (the
"clock", for instance) are done by traffic to the slimserver and back.

So even one squeezebox that's off takes up some network traffic.

It's not much for a modern network. It won't hurt anything, and it
keeps costs down :-)
