This looks to me like tcpdump output. As far as I understand, the "listener" 
(used by iptraf, tcpdump, etc.) listens before iptables does it works, so you 
always see packets. - even those which are to be DROPed.

Take a client connected to eth2 and listen on the eth2 bus. There should not 
be anything.
