It look similar to a problem that occurred on some 3.x heavy loaded
machines. After a while they begin to send packets with dst=0.0.0.0. We had
to revert to 2.6 on our production machines.

tcpdump output looks like this:

When the network traffic slows down the machine recovers to normal operation.
