Is this traffic to an "unknown" destination - I.e. one that may not have sent
out any packets? I've seen this with some broken NIC failover/Server failover
systems - the device replies to ARPs with a "shared" MAC address but is sending
out packets with the Burnt-in MAC address on the card. The switch doesn't know
where to send the traffic so it just floods it to all ports.
