tethereal 0.8.10, with GTK+ 1.2.7, with libpcap 0.4a6, with libz 1.1.3,
with UCD SNMP 4.0.1

from ~/.ethereal/preferences:

# Packet list column format.  Each pair of strings consists of a column
# title and its format.
column.format: "No.", "%m", "Time", "%t", "Source", "%s", "Destination",
        "%d", "Protocol", "%p", "size", "%L", "Info", "%i"

destination an IP from the local subnet is inbound traffic?
