Hello,
 
First of all I'm not sure this is the place to ask this question. If it's not, I'm sorry. Any pointer to a more relevant place on the web is appreciated.
 
When I capture a packet with libpcap, how can I tell if the packets is incoming or outgoing?
 
The struct which is returned with every captured packet, pcap_pkthdr, does not contains this information. The stats structure, pcap_stat, seems to do.
 
Do I need to call the function which fills the stats struct for every packet I capture so I can tell then if it's incoming or outgoing? Or is there a better way to this?
 
I don't want to make any assumptions based on data that may or may be not present in the packet.
 
Any help appreciated,
 
Max
