Yes, there is.  I don't know how to tell after the fact, but during it,
you can tell when it is coming from.

You will want to add "pseudo-device   bpfilter 4" into your kernel
configuration file, then config, compile, and reboot.

After you have that running in your kernel, you can use the tcpdump
program to show what is going over your network.  Or better yet, you can
get trafshow from the ports tree and run that.
