There are ways of filtering the display by a huge number of things.

For example, to filter by IPv4 source address, do

	ip.src == {address}

where "{address}" can either be an IP address or a host name.

Yes - the filter above is a display filter.

You can also filter by source address when capturing, with

	src host {address}
