A more subtle explanation comes about when running in promiscuous mode

without specifying a \fB-F\fP option. In this case there is no easy way
to assign the direction of traffic between two third parties. For the purposes
of the main display this is done in an arbitrary fashion (by ordering of IP
addresses), but for the sake of totals all traffic between other hosts is
accounted as incoming, because that's what it is from the point of view of your
interface. The \fB-N\fP option allows you to specify an arbitrary network
interface. The \fB-F\fP option allows you to specify an arbitrary network
boundary, and to show traffic flowing across it.
