AttackThis traffic does not likely indicate an attack, often P2P traffic will be seen going to hosts that do not run P2P software if a site using dynamic IP addresses (such as an ISP or DHCP client pool) as a previous client running the P2P application had that address and traffic for it is still coming in.
Action:
Firewall this port unless you specifically want to allow P2P services to run
