Direction of src and dest

[Robert Leyba]

Hi, I'd like to get clarification on the src and dest hosts on the ra commands.
  In the example below, I sent a 7531 byte file via ftp from 10.22.97.107 to 10.22.96.10.
   
  The output is as follows:
   
  root at cpocts:/tmp#
  root at cpocts:/tmp# racount -r /tmp/outfile - dst host 10.22.96.10 and src host 10.22.97.107 -L0
  racount records total_pkts src_pkts dst_pkts total_bytes src_bytes dst_bytes
  sum 5 24 14 10 1722 889 833
  root at cpocts:/tmp# racount -r /tmp/outfile - src host 10.22.96.10 and dst host 10.22.97.107 -L0
  racount records total_pkts src_pkts dst_pkts total_bytes src_bytes dst_bytes
  sum 2 14 6 8 8339 362 7977
  root at cpocts:/tmp#
   
  Why does the ouput seem to be the other way around.  If I query the source to be 10.22.97.107 and the dest to be 10.22.96.10 I get only 1722 bytes, which doesn't make sense...as the REAL source is 10.22.97.107 sending data to 10.22.96.10.
   
  Thanks for any info.
