Looks to me like ICMP redirect messages. Such messages are generated by
remote hosts to inform your server of a "better" route to some target
destination you're connecting to. Usually it signifies a routing loop (a
simpler path exists). Due to security reasons, your kernel should
continue to ignore such redirects (everything is fine)
