I am not familiar with the Cisco switch. I am afraid, I cannot comment.

Thanks Kaustubh, What do you think about this link? http://blog.marvelworld.tk/?p=563 They are saying it could be keepalive.

Try to imagine what will happen if the switch port connecting to eth0 gets a broadcast packet (an ARP request, for example). Because the other port is a trunk port, the switch will forward the broadcast packet out to eth1, which in turn will forward to br-int and eventually eth0 thereafter.
