High volume of external requests to port 36679 ?


Anyone know what be going on with my SOHO wireless router receiving a lot of requests from various IP's to port 36679 on my public IP address?

I see a lot of repeated "Block incoming UDP packet from x.x.x.x to y.y.y.y :36679" in my router log.

I tried searching and wasn't able to find anything.

Thanks,

Most likely a bot net attempting to connect to its client pcs or an automated script that is testing for vulnerabilities to exploit.
