No, this is a crappy setup with 2 standard internet connections, one fixed wireless and one cable (normal directly assigned layer 2 subnet) on interface 1 one on interface 2. Each gets a subnet of IP addresses.
These packets continue to loop - the behavior in question continues for as long as I leave the rules enabled and causes service impairment (probably due to upload saturation).
