I'd say it looks like what ever 10.0.0.1 is, is either running routed/gated, 
or is a hardware router. Either way, it's trying to do UDP RIP 
advertisements to the local broadcast address, to try and discover other 
routers on the network. If 10.0.0.1 is your firewall, and you don't need 
routed/gated (if you only have a default route out of there, you don't), 
you can disable it with /stand/sysinstall, in the networking options.
