I have no real proof to back it up but my money is that this traffic is
your average im/irc/p2p session.

Now depending on what you call 'lots of rogue traffic',  I say this is
your regular transfer connection, typically broadband connections on
high (out of the way) ports, tcp/udp transfers of of random duration.
You can point the finger at MSN, DCC, skype and/or bitorrent.


I reject the idea that this is trojan/worm related for these offensive
programs usually stick to close subnets when communicating.
