Have you performed an nslookup on the dst ip. It is an ISP that may have a user hosting a game server or something as 
it is going to a high-numbered UDP port. Should also check the internal machine that is the src to make sure there 
isn't a virus or some backdoor program sending info back to the dst ip.

I'm not sure about the udp dport 27160 stuff. Are you running some
application on that port? Its all traffic to on particular host. You may
want to check into that.

The second one is definitely benign web browsing.

Looks at the ports that portscan2 reported. Sometime clients browsing
websites cause portscan2 to trigger based on the fact that some browsers
initiate a new connection (and thus, new port) for each image. If you
haven't change the config, there should be a scan.log file in your snort
log
directory which will have more info.

Subject: [Snort-users] Portscan 2 question

I have a weird problem with 2 entries in my ACID database. Apparently,
my server did a port scan on a remote machine. The problem is that no
one here initiated a port scan. The database lists my server IP as the
source and lists a dest IP. This is listed as a spp_portscan2. Does the
new snort scan other machines on the Internet? I don't want any issues
with other services because they think I'm port scanning their network.

Thanks

Joe
