UDP port 68 is the "bootp" protocol, I believe. Why not find out who's
flodding your network with bootp requests? Sounds like it's killing
your network performance of your entire network if they are being logged
so much.

ICMP/3 is "Destination unreachable"; some router is sending these to the
broadcast address, it would appear. More performanc-killers for your
network. You really need to find out who's causing all the trouble,
rather than just turn off the logging and ignore it.
Your computer is trying to tell you about a problem. Don't shoot the
messenger. Shoot the guy causing the problem. :)
