when i run tcpdump, here's a sample of what i get over the time of not even one second:

what gives, and is there any way to stop this? i doubt this has anything to do with the services i am running, since this traffic is there whether i am booting windows or linux.
ideas?
what is this traffic, and where is it coming from?
