That is a Serialized MarshalledObject that contains a remote reference to the Registrar server hosted by the Lookup Discovery Service (i.e. reggie). The http URLs you see as part of the packet are class annotations. It is in reality RMI serialization, JINI services are RMI servers, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/rmi/spec/rmi-protocol4.html This package is normally a multicast response to a multicast request, but could be also a response to a unicast discovery request (as it is used in both cases). See more details at: http://www.jini.org/wiki/Jini_Discovery_and_Join_Specification#The_Discovery_Protocols This package is the bit that reads: "A multicast response client responds to callers, passing each a proxy that allows it to communicate with its lookup service."
