It seems you are in a hostile ethernet environment where you do not
control all nodes, and one of them is sending router advertisements.
I've always been upset with Linux for accepting RA by default. You may
want to consider:
# sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra=0

and turning on accept_ra only if you know your network environment.
That will save you from surprises like this one.
