RE: Decoding Error Messages

My server is usually idle at night, since it's only my friends who play on it, and they all have day jobs. But i keep it on just incase. Most often i wake up to find the log filled only with battleground timer reset messages, and other things that happen on a timer. This morning i found what you see below.

WorldSocket::handle_input_header: client sent malformed packet size = 18245 , cmd = 1952981076

WorldSocket::handle_input: Peer error closing connection errno = Invalid argument

WorldSocket::handle_input_header: client sent malformed packet size = 1025 , cmd = -381661184

WorldSocket::handle_input: Peer error closing connection errno = Invalid argument

WorldSocket::handle_input: Peer error closing connection errno = connection reset

WorldSocket::handle_input_header: client sent malformed packet size = 18245 , cmd = 1952981076

WorldSocket::handle_input: Peer error closing connection errno = Invalid argument

WorldSocket::handle_input_header: client sent malformed packet size = 1025 , cmd = 2102022144

WorldSocket::handle_input: Peer error closing connection errno = Invalid argument

WorldSocket::handle_input: Peer error closing connection errno = connection aborted

WorldSocket::handle_input_header: client sent malformed packet size = 18245 , cmd = 1952981076

WorldSocket::handle_input: Peer error closing connection errno = Invalid argument

WorldSocket::handle_input: Peer error closing connection errno = connection reset

There are pages and pages of this stuff, all within the last 8 hours. Can anyone tell me what it means?

this is mostly when client idle after disconnect and then it send some garbage to server. Close and start new client copy help in all case...
