As per my knowledge 0 is well known port.

Hi,

tcp/0 or udp/0 specifies all TCP/UDP traffic

For example, to enable authentication for TCP connections originated from the inside interface to the outside network:
aaa authentication include tcp/0 inside 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224 tacacs+

Most likely you will get in the logs this information if you have enabled authentication through the ASA or Firewall.
Can you post the logs to see if there are critical or just informational logs and what exactly do they mean?

Those logs could be part of an authentication like I mentioned, or could be traffic that is flowing through the ASA.

Who is sending the logs, the ASA?

What severity are these logs? Are they just informational or critical?

This could be normal traffic or not, in order to find out, we need to know if that traffic showing on the logs is supposed to go through the ASA in the first place.

A configuration will help.
