Megan,
Haven't you looked at the packets? I am disappointed! :D

It might be the cable/tv pulling/sending information.

I am going to set IPv6 to "Off" on this box although I have not yet done so.  The network spike is very brief, pointed and seems to occur several times a minute during which it jumps up and back down.   The Mac is directory wired to the Verizon FIOS box using DHCP for private, non-routable address and there are no other computers in the house.

I see no such network spike in the iMac Network monitor.  I tested this with and without IPv6 set to "Off" and "Automatic"  (I generally leave it set to "Off").
