When the GES receives a GES Status Command it will respond with a GES Summary Status
packet.
The GES also supports up to two requests for 1Hz GES Summary Status updates. The first two
requestors will receive GES Summary Status messages at approximately 1Hz intervals. If a
request for 1Hz updates comes from the same IP address, but from a different port it will replace
the previous 1Hz update request.
