This is UPnP discovery. Take a look here:

http://www.linuxsa.org.au/mailing-list/2002-11/1134.html

I see a lot of unicast UPnP traffic on my networks. 
UPnP seems like a train wreck waiting to happen, to me.

It would be interesting to see what happens if one
of your users turns UPnP off on their host.

Just a shot in the dark.
