 Data not related to the physical aircraft state are only forwarded every 500 ms (4 * `--net-beast-reduce-interval`).The messages of
 this output are normal beast messages and compatible with every program able to receive beast messages.
 
+This is used by some aggregators to aggregate ADS-B data, an example net connector would be:
+```
+--net-connector=feed.airplanes.live,30004,beast_reduce_plus_out,uuid=0033062d-e17e-4389-91a9-79ebb967fb4c
+```
+The uuid is optional, if none is given, the uuid from --uuid-file is used, if that isn't present no uuid is sent.
+The beast_reduce_out net-connector will never send an uuid.
+The aggregator enables --net-receiver-id and --net-ingest on their readsb server, it's made to work with beast_reduce_plus_out.
