this depends on knowing MAC address of the interface. I want to ask
whteter there is another way of selection of ingress and egresss
packets seperately.

The pcap format does not provide means to store the direction of a packet (or the interface on which it was 
captured). So when using pcap files, you will have to filter by mac-addresses and/or IP addresses. This does however 
mean you have to know the topology of the network.

In pcap-ng, I think there is the possibility to store interface and direction information. But AFAIK this has not 
been implemented in Wireshark yet (pcap-ng support is slowly increasing in Wireshark).

Hope this helps,
Cheers,


Sake
