Dear Rodger,
Please Refer to this Intel SB page
http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-016895.htm
It seems these packets are actually some heartbeat packets used in
maintaining a successful "team" as you put it. The Page says you may
turn these "probes" off in a near capacity network, is yours one? The
page provides links to some manuals which may help you turn this feature
off, so have a look and the best of luck.
