Yes. The majority of the packets are TCP open requests with no data,
mostly to ports 23 and 80.
I'm just trying to brainstorm ways you could reduce the number of

While >1000 packets per minute might be totally normal for an FTP
transfer session, 1000 TCP open requests to unroutable addresses is
much more abnormal.
