This looks like normal traffic to my amateur eye. Crudely and not
entirely accurately speaking, on a network, hosts are
constantly asking where other hosts are. They ask by name, which the DNS
server (or /etc/hosts) translates into an ip number, which is broadcast, and finally
the
MAC is sent out by the host whose has that particular IP number.
So, there is lots of traffic on even a quiet network.
