High Number of Traps from a couple devices

I am following an article about finding devices that are sending a large number of traps. I found a couple that are way higher then the rest, but why are they so high? They are doing 2K - 3K per hour where the next one in order is 10 per hour. Why are these so high? What should I check to find out why so many are being sent? I can create a TRAP Rule like mentions in the article, but I am more curious why so many are being sent at this point.

just check in trap viewer and filter by IP address to see from which source it is coming... and then check with the owner of that source if too many traps are enabled... many times authentication traps are enabled which is of no use in terms of monitoring...
