In the manpage to netmon you can find the following explanation to your
observation:
If netmon receives a link down or link up trap from the trapd daemon,
netmon will immediately ping the interface card identified with that link.
Then it will ping every interface card in that device. You will notice
extra network traffic, therefore, when links are going up and down.
Hope this helps

Thema: Interface down events
How much is the intervals set for Netview polls (pings) for Interface
status on Network Devices. It has to be different from the Status
Polling parameter on SNMP Config. because its 5m on my network but on
the other hand, OV Interface down events seem to be generated in real
time.
