I looked on the internet and found a blog with the same problem:

As already defined, it's multicast DNS (mDNS). You can shut down
the avahi-daemon service if you're not using it. I've disabled it on my
linux boxes because it's just more background radiation on my network.
You could also look at your router config to see if you can turn off
mDNS (if you don't want to disable your avahi-daemon).

I went to CISCO to determine what the resolution was.
1. Live Chat support informed me that Linksys was only supported under
Windows and that I could call live support at 1-800-326-7114.
2. Live support made be perform rather silly tests under Windows. Then
passed me to a supervisor.
3. The Supervisor could not find the above email thread on their own
site!
Linksys does not have an email address for support. And the people I
spoke to were not savvy enough to understand the problem as described
in the above thread.
Is Linksys a known problem for Linux systems? Should it be?
Are there any suggestions on how to bound the size of my message files
other that editing avhi so that it does not issue these warning messages?
I was online or on the phone to Linksys for over 3 hours. I do not
know where they are located, but I could barely understand their
english. It was one of the worst support experiences in my 35 years of
system involvement!
