load of connections to ephemeral ports from TCP source port 3389(probably virus)

If I check the traffic passing my router(using NetFlow), 98% of the
flows are following:

srcIP            dstIP            prot  srcPort  dstPort  octets      packets
I.I.P.P        192.168.2.196    6     3389     3799     55          1
I.I.P.P        192.168.2.196    6     3389     4465     40          1
I.I.P.P        192.168.2.196    6     3389     1940     74          1
I.I.P.P        192.168.2.196    6     3389     2611     51          1
I.I.P.P        192.168.2.196    6     3389     2356     141         1
I.I.P.P        192.168.2.196    6     3389     2111     92          1
I.I.P.P        192.168.2.196    6     3389     1151     339         1
I.I.P.P        192.168.2.196    6     3389     2609     55          1
I.I.P.P        192.168.2.196    6     3389     1386     1500        1
I.I.P.P        192.168.2.196    6     3389     3133     1480        1
I.I.P.P        192.168.2.196    6     3389     2684     3000        2

"I.I.P.P" is a random public IP address. 192.168.2.196 is a Windows
Server 2003 in LAN. As you can see, almost every connection is to
ephemeral port on 192.168.2.196 using the source port 3389. In
addition, download traffic is 5x higher than upload traffic(download
from Internet is ~50Mbps while upload to Internet is ~10Mbps).

Has someone seen such pattern before? Maybe able to name a possible
virus family?
