Protocol 88 seems to be a Cisco-specific protocol:

[root@hermes /]# grep 88 /etc/protocols
eigrp   88      EIGRP           # Enhanced Interior Routing Protocol
(Cisco)
[root@hermes /]#

So I guess the most obvious question first:  Do you have any Cisco
gear 
(particularly routers) on your network?  Any equipment that was
installed 
prior to all these alerts would be the first thing I'd check;  next,
I'd 
check ALL routers (and other 'border' equipment) for signs of a
compromised 
or misconfiguration.  I've seen cases where equipment (not Cisco in 
particular) started literally flooding the network -- most of the
network 
was accessible... but VERY, VERY slow (a 100baseT section was reduced
to a 
few kilobytes/sec of available bandwidth).  It turned out to be a 
configuration problem with a switch or something (I forget exactly
what 
caused it now).  May be something similar in your case...

Just a thought.
