    This is probably the Slapper worm.  One variant of it uses udp/1812
    to communicate with other infected servers.  However, udp/1812 is
    registered for RADIUS authentication, and tcpdump knows that, so it's
    trying to decode the packet as if it were a RADIUS authentication
    request.  For more info:
