Not sure where those port >60000 packets are coming from, but:

I've seen tftp implementations that do funny things with port numbers.
Specifically, if C is client and S is server,
   C --> S  src-port=N1 dst-port=69
   S --> C  src-port=N2 dst-port=N1
where both N1 and N2 are high numbers.

the point is that the returning packets were NOT showing up with 
src-port=69 as one would expect but with some dynamic high port number N2,
which messed up my filtering at the time.

I thought this was relevant but your email seems to indicate high dst-port
numbers so maybe it's something else.
