Another possibility is an application that is communicating license
data. The old Chameleon IP stack from NetManage.com use to do something
like that. They embeded their coded serial number in an icmp packet 
and sent it to a broadcast address. All other copies of their software
listened for the coded icmp, and if the serial number matched, disabled
the software since it was an illegal copy.

Are the source and destination addresses within your network?
