If I remember correctly - when dealing with a similar problem I
ended up
having to disable the mDNSresponder daemon to get it to stop
chattering.
That will nuke all Bonjour/Rendesvous/Zeroconf connectivity though. I
really don't understand why there isn't an option to turn this traffic
off via the GUI.

Bonjour, it's using port 5353 to send something to the DNS servers
not
broadcast addresses.
Send me a pcap (be sure to set the snaplen to 1500 bytes) and I'll be
happy to take a look at it.
The services advertised only account for about half of the
traffic, if
I
have iTunes configured with sharing off why should it be broadcasting
Bonjour traffic, it does not have any services it's advertising and
it's
not looking for any advertised services.
Bonjour broadcasts on a backoff & retry schedule in order to query
neighbors about new services. When a Bonjour-enabled service comes
online it similarly broadcasts its presence. Both are done because
the
transport is not reliable.
