okay, but there is more than just in/out.

        PREENCAP =4,          /* IPsec ? */

...and perhaps, on at least some systems, for inbound packets, supply "received unicast/received broadcast/received multicast/received promiscuously" indications (Digital UNIX has broadcast, multicast, and promiscuous bits - presumably if none are set it's received unicast or it's outbound), IRIX has a "received promiscuously" flag, and Linux supplies a unicast/broadcast/multicast/promiscuous/outgoing value. We might do that with "received unknown", "received unicast", "received broadcast", "received multicast", "received promiscuously", and "sent" flags (if none are set, the direction is unknown).
