This is multicast traffic.  224.0.0.2 means "all routers on this
subnet".  This is probably router discovery traffic; I'd bet if you
nmap (with tcp fingerprint) 172.167.37.113 you'll find it's a router.

btw, unless you editted it, 172.167.37.113 is not a private address
(though someone might be laboring under the illusion that it is).  RFC
1918 says 172.16.0.0 thru 172.31.255.255 are reserved for private
networks.
