udp:69 is TFTP.
udp:161 is SNMP.

I can understand udp:161. One of the functions of snmpd is filesystem
monitoring, and you have this scanbd thing that implies SANE that
implies snmpd.
But establishing TFTP session 'just because' is weird.

Broadcast, unicast, or ...?

Curious. Can you share a this network dump in pcap format?
As in,

tcpdump -s0 -w /tmp/69_161.pcap -ni any udp port 69 or udp port 161

Useless

So it's a local SNMP connection, if I get it right?
