udp 500 packets when users are web browsing

[rwebb at ropeguru.com (Robert Webb)]

We are seeing udp 500 packets being dropped at our firewall from user's 
browsing sessions. These are users on a 2008 R2 AD setup with Windows 7.

Source and destination ports are udp 500 and the the pattern of drops 
directly correlate to the web browsing activity. We have confirmed this with 
tcpdump of port 500 and a single host and watching the pattern of traffic as 
they browse. This also occurs no matter what browser is used.

Can anyone shine some light on what may be using udp 500 when web browsing?
