Your remark about the switch being the problem made me think :)
I captured the packets with tcpdump which resulted in some announces
from an IP transit provider. The len of 20 was something I found also in
that packet, so I'll send the logs to the provider, asking them to look
into it. I don't believe it's something carp is causing, it's just
reporting about the packets...
Anyhow, thanks for your time!
