I don't speak Spanish, though I can read enough to figure some of this
out.  I hope you can handle English ;)

And debian-user-spanish@lists.debian.org would be more appropriate for

You should look up 'martian packet' on wikipedia for details.
Basically, they are packets from "illegal" source addresses:  private
network values or unallocated address ranges are a couple of examples.
