when can i ever use ip.addr!=x.y.z.w in that case??
in other words if we do have an ip.addr!= option should it not be an implicit Source Or Destination
The packet filter code knows nothing of "ip.addr", so it can't treat it differently from other fields - "ip.addr != XXX" means "packet contains an 'ip.addr' value that's not XXX", just as "ip.protocol != XXX" means "packet contains an 'ip.protocol' value that's not XXX".
