lot of networktraffic from 127.0.0.x

[Hansi Hoer]

hello,
my new installed sol 9 sun fire box sends a lot of strange network
packets into his subnet, something like this:
....
1105 40.457000 127.0.0.154 108.122.0.0 IP
IPv6 hop-by-hop option (0x00)

1106 40.457000 127.0.0.39 108.122.0.0 IP
IPv6 hop-by-hop option (0x00)

1107 40.458000 127.0.0.154 108.122.0.0 IP
IPv6 hop-by-hop option (0x00)
....
All my other sol 7 / 8 boxes does nothing like this.
Can somebody tell me what it is and how I can stop this?
My networkadmin will be very happy.
Thanks a lot

Strange indeed, since 127.0.0.x adresses are not supposed to leave the
network interface. They should are refer to the localhost.
