>1. What is Ethernet type code 8035 hex?

RARP - Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. Packets go out saying, "This
is my Ethernet address. What's my IP address? RARP server, please respond."

A PC is likely to send a fair number of those packets. It'll be an especially
large number over time if there's no server on the LAN to respond.
