By themselves, these messages mean nothing.  Some applications, like the event
command, routinely connect and disconnect from trapd.  Type  "event -h test1"
and then go look in the trapd.log.  You will see that the "connected" message
precedes the dummy node up event, and the disconnected one follows.   So this is
normal if you are using that in a script somewhere.  In  other cases,  this is a
problem that requires investigation.

What else happens at about this time?  Are these always back-to-back in the
trapd log?  Have you tried formatting the nettl logs to look for errors?   What
options are you running on trapd?

Are you having a problem that causes you to investigate this or are you just
curious?
