I see from your other question that you are running HP-UX. Is the source quench coming from an HP-UX 11.0 box? 11.0 has some problem reqarding source quenches and you need to install the latest patches.

A "source quench" is an ICMP message that is supposed to come from a router that has been overloaded. It's not really used much and anyway a host was not supposed to send them.
