Ok ... I juste understood my misunderstanding. I'm so stupid !

Let's take a http request as example : 

ip_address_source:X -> ip_address_destination:80 (A octets) (GET ....)
and the server will reply :
ip_address_destination:80 -> ip_address_source:X (B octets) (200 OK ...)

So, this will make 2 different flow. Upload will be A and download will be B.

* Hope it will help idiots like me...

Thanks anyway
