TCP port 6346 is used by the Gnutella person-to-person file sharing
software.  The most likely reasons why you're getting these connections
would be:
 * Someone who once had your IP number ran Gnutella
 * Someone mistyped an IP number in their Gnutella client

Whether you want to call it a DoS attack is up to you :)
