The first thing I would do is run tcpdump and see where the traffic  
is really coming from.

Maybe you have lots of duplicate packets. It sounds unlikely, but you  
should rule it out.

BTW, there was a SAP / SDR storm a few days ago. There might be a SAP  
exploit out there. Again, tcpdump
should sort this out.
