    martian errors are generated when anyone is trying to connect
    to you from the internet with private_range_of_ip_addresses !

    which is .. packets impossible to route :-) are labelled as Martian

    1. eg .. message coming from internet with 10.0.0.2
    2 eg.. message from 192.168.0.1 from internet

    In your case ...

    CASE 1. ::: martian source 169.254.207.9 from 169.254.207.9
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    the source and dest is the same , why it ever reached the router ??

    CASE 2 ::: martian source 255.255.255.255 from169.254.207.9
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    255.255.255.255 is invalid and not routable ... !!

    ~~ broadcast domain ~~ .... does that ring any bell ;-)

    hope this helps ...
