I was fooling around with my firewall and noticed this,
Its stopping my computer/internet or whatever from sending packets to that adress, (Malware?)
Here is a video showing more details:

This can be used for online streaming video and gaming and your computer is just using the defined multicast address 224.0.0.22. Info on Multicasting addresses, see:
