Well, since two of those port numbers match, this _may_ be the culprit:

Web JetAdmin Package Manager

Installed on: supported Linux, Solaris and HP-UX systems
Path: /opt/fpmd
Listener Port: 54253
Purpose: Performs installation of packages for Web JetAdmin software

Print Server Manager

Installed on: supported Linux, Solaris and HP-UX systems
Path: /opt/ppsweb
Listener Port: 55559
Purpose: provides communication channel for Web JetAdmin remote printer
installation

There is a system that is trying to connect to udp ports 55559, 43768, and

and then moves on to a seemingly random machine from within my network.
Any idea what is running, or what it is trying to connect to?
