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").
