You never make a request for threat info to other clients; clients publish info as they have it on a timer ranging from (right now) 0.5 seconds to 1.5 seconds based on group size. Note that you're not going to fire off threat updates on that period unless you actually have changes to report, so the actual reporting period tends to be lower.
