Does anybody know what the EVENT <Bandwidth> messages rpd has decided to 
start logging recently are about:

On some routers we see these quite frequently, sometimes every few 
minutes, sometimes every few hours:

On some messages the "address" is clearly the interface MAC address, on 
others is is quite a bit longer and more mysterious

Apr 22 03:51:34.215  re1.yyy.yyyy rpd[42643]: %DAEMON-6: EVENT <Bandwidth> ae0.902 index 99 <Up Broadcast Multicast> address #0 3.86.f.ff.0.0.0.0.0.0.81.0.81.0.0.1.1.7.0.0.3.86.0.0.3.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0

Some of these interfaces are internal links (speaking ISIS etc), while
others are external links speaking nothing more than eBGP. Some messages
log no interface at all, but only no-interface or ae's ever seem to get
logged, not non-ae's:

And no one I've asked seems to have any idea what they are. Anybody? :)
