Given that you've only supplied dmesg output but no other details - network
configuration, pf configuration, the make-up of your traffic, operational
details, etc. - it's pretty hard to surmise exactly what might be a root

Some of the people on this list are excellent resources, but I'm not yet aware
of anyone being able to read minds or accurately predict the future...
