When you see this message, it means:
1. Kernel is buggy. 2. Some problems with your hardware. As rule it is broken motherboard or ethernet card. 3. Sender is buggy and must be detached from network. 4. A router is buggy and must be replaced.
1 is the most probable for development kernels, so that these messages are always printed in them.
2 is the most frequent reason. It requires immediate attention.
3&4 can be interesting only if you have enough of administrative power.
