New worm / port 1434?

We are seeing this too.

We are seeing the gige interfaces on multiple customer aggregation
switches at multiple locations add several hundred Mbps each.  All the
traffic is destined for udp port 1434 with a randomized source address. We
are doing "ip verify unicast source reachable-via any" which stops most of
the random addresses.  We've temporarily had to block udp port 1434.
