An IP redirect is sent by a (typically) router when it determines that a packet 
it has received would be better routed by an alternate path and it informs the 
source by sending it an ICMP redirect.  In this case, it would seem your system 
received a redirect telling your system that 91.198.174.192 is directly 
connected to em1.

I would use wireshark to try and trap ICMP messages looking for the source of 
the redirects.

I don't know anything about Windows and what they do.  Sorry.
